By critically examining both leftist and nationalist thought, \u003ci\u003eTowards People's Histories in Pakistan\u003c\/i\u003e explores competing visions of what is meant by 'the people', and charts new ground in developing the promise of people's histories both within Pakistan and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247683752280,"sku":"9781350261228","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350261228_6b9f2f32-a67d-4ae0-968c-994ddc80f7c5.jpg?v=1765508411","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/towards-peoples-histories-in-pakistan-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
