We seek submissions for the first issue of Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies for our first issue to be published in June 2009. Please submit your scholarly articles, creative works, or book reviews.
Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies is a peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary electronic journal offering a forum for a serious academic and creative engagement with various aspects of Pakistani culture, literature, and politics. Thus, Pakistaniaat aims to provide a public space on the Internet to introduce and discuss hitherto neglected aspects of Pakistani cultural and literary production and to make this knowledge available to a worldwide audience.
Though several esteemed journals do exist that pay a fair degree of attention to the issues of South Asia and Postcoloniality, we feel that under the current climate of high capital and war on terror, Pakistan, often subsumed under the larger registers of South Asia or Postcolonial Studies, needs a particular space of its own in our academic and creative undertakings.
This e-journal, thus, aims to provide an inclusive venue to all those interested in issues specifically related to Pakistan, its culture, literature, and its place in the region as well as the world. We aim to accomplish the important mission of “covering Pakistan” by publishing critical essays, creative works, translations, and critical reviews of books about Pakistani culture and literature.
