The book provides an extensive analysis of extremism, extremist
narratives and counter-narratives and their role in consolidating
exclusive religious, cultural and social identities in Pakistan.
Focusing on the construction and institutionalization of extremist
tendencies, the book studies the process of the adoption of the
narrow interpretation of religion and society, which subsequently
was equated with national identity. It looks at the efforts of
counter-extremism narratives, which tend to focus on violent
extremism while overlooking non-violent manifestations. The author
highlights that the main issue with counter-narratives is the
difficulty in presenting extremism and its narratives as a threat
since they have been normalized with the state being part of
facilitating and building them. A valuable and much-required
contribution to the existing literature on extremism and narrative
building in Pakistan, this book would help students, academics and
policymakers in identifying the limitations of counter-narratives
in Pakistan, while providing them with a detailed overview of
extremism and extremist narratives. It will also be of interest to
researchers studying Security Studies and Asian Politics,
especially in the context of South Asia.
