This volume places the spotlight on an important moment in history. The late 1960s was a time of profound change around the world, and the contributions included here from Pakistan's leftist intellectuals based in London, speak volumes about the implications of the turbulence and the promise for a better future in relation to Pakistan. More than five decades on, the promise of a better tomorrow looks as far away as ever, but the turbulence has returned with a vengeance. The newly written contributions reflect on the significance of this leftist journal at the time and the impact of those ideas and discourses on the politics that came to be.
Nadir Cheema teaches economics at the SOAS University of London. He is on the book reviews editorial team of Bloomsbury Pakistan, which focuses on academic book in the area of Pakistan Studies. He contributes on Pakistans economy for the English daily, Dawn.
