In Towards Peoples’ Histories in Pakistan, Kamran Asdar Ali and Asad Ali assemble essays that incorporate various approaches to history, revealing the multitude of voices and perspectives that shape the nation’s past. This exploration opens the door to understanding the rich tapestry of histories that contribute to the broader narrative of Pakistan.
