Shafqat Hussain examines the surprisingly diverse ways the people of Hunza, a remote independent state in Pakistan, have been viewed by outsiders over the past century. He also explores the Hunza people's perceptions of British colonialists, Pakistani state officials, modern-day Westerners, and others, and how the local people used their remote status strategically, ensuring their own interests were served as they engaged with the outside world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shafqat Hussain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300205554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300205558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Shafqat Hussain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013722747135,"sku":"9780300205558","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78677526-6395-4527-8c1c-3f30d860a125.jpg?v=1767744362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remoteness-and-modernity-shafqat-hussain-9780300205558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
