Book review: ethnography at the frontier: space, memory, and society in Southern Balochistan by Ugo E.M. Fabietti

In this rare anthropological study based on extensive fieldwork in Balochistan, Ugo Fabietti explores the question of social change in this 'peripheral' region of Pakistan which is negotiating with both new forces and reformulations of its past. Hammal finds the book an ambitious and path breaking work which seeks to understand the region on its own terms.
