Cultural Writing. Middle Eastern Studies. The only English-language anthology by Pakistani women published in the United States, AND THE WORLD CHANGED goes beyond the sensational headlines to reveal the stories of Pakistani women. Immigrants and refugees, travelers and explorers, seasoned authors and fresh voices, the twenty-five writers in this volume are as dynamic and diverse as their stories. Filled with nostalgic memories of Pakistan, critical commentary about the world's current political climate, and inspirational hope for the future, the stories in AND THE WORLD CHANGED weave an intricate, enlightening view of Pakistan, its relation to the West, and the women who travel between the two regions. Born and living in Pakistan, writer and critic Muneeza Shamsie has edited two other pioneering anthologies of Pakistani English writing.
