| Summary: | "This groundbreaking book is the first sustained anthropological inquiry into the idea of remote areas. Shafqat Hussain examines the surprisingly diverse ways the people of Hunza, a remote independent state in Pakistan, have been viewed by outsiders over the past century. He also explores how the Hunza people perceived British colonialists, Pakistani state officials, modern-day Westerners, and others, and how the local people used their remote status strategically, ensuring their own interests were served as they engaged with the outside world"-- |
| Item Description: | Mirs of Hunza -- Chronology of the Hunza state and its relationships with surrounding polities -- Lifting the veil : the sacred and political geography of Hunza -- The friction and rhetoric of distance and the alterity of Hunza -- Frontier matters : irrelevance, romanticism, and transformation of Hunza society -- Rural romance and refuge from civilization -- The origin of a nation : Hunza and postcolonial identity -- On the edge of the world -- Strange strangers in the land of paradise -- Romanticism, environmentalism, and articulation of an ecological identity |
