Summary:

Images of religious extremism and violence in Pakistan-and the narratives that interpret them-inform global events but also twist back to shape local class politics. Ammara Maqsood focuses on life in Lahore, where she untangles these narratives to show how central they are for understanding competition between middle-class groups.
