Since 2004 Manan Ahmed, a deeply informed Pakistani-American historian, has been casting his keen and always wry eye on the U.S.-Pakistani interaction on his blog, Chapati Mystery. Where the Wild Frontiers Are is a collection of his blogged essays—a work that will forever change the way its American readers think about Pakistan. The book captures the failure of most members of the U.S. elite to successfully "imagine" the reality of people's lives and society in Pakistan. In it, Ahmed unsparingly criticizes most of the so-called "experts" who prognosticate about Pakistan and its region in the U.S. mainstream media.

This book gave me an amazing lively example of what it means for an academic as well as for anyone else to fight for justice. Ahmed brings political engagement to a great level of intelligence, humor and critique, proving that there is no journalism or academia possible without a sense of love and care. Facing the madness of the last 10 years of war, he is able to dismantel uncountable lies and ideological manipulations, and offer us a representation of reality that is more true, more nuanced, more vivid, and finally, more moral. Under is pen, all the empires of the world are revealed in the bare nudity of their ignorant monstrousity.Manan Ahmed speaks the voice of people. People from Pakistan, people from around the world, people who suffered, are suffering and will probably continue to suffer, but people who struggle for their lives and dignity and will not let injustice being endlessly perpetuated. With love and care, always.

Where the Wild Frontiers Are Pakistan and the American Imagination edition by Manan Ahmed Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
I'm done with my studies, but if I were to ever write another forced paper on Pakistan, I would read this book and source it heavily....... or just read it to up my conversation potential at cocktail parties. It's always best to approach Pakistani politics with a line of comical cynicism and Manan Ahmed does not disappoint. I find this book to be less slanted then most in this genre, but having more confidence than just the standard, 'Islam is not bad.' rhetoric. I have a feeling this will be the first in a long series of books on the region from this author.
