Introduction

  • Chapter
Economy and Culture in Pakistan

Abstract

Until recently anthropological interest in Pakistan has been dominated by a focus on the countryside. This is probably as it should be in a country which is predominantly agricultural. However, a growing number of Pakistanis live in cities both in Pakistan itself as well as overseas and very many more have some indirect experience of cities through contact with those who have lived there. Within Pakistan the rate of urbanisation has been rising dramatically, fuelled not only by natural growth and rural to urban migration, but by a massive influx of refugees. Millions of migrant Pakistanis are now also to be found residing overseas in British and Middle Eastern cities. But despite the fact that migration and urbanisation have thus become such a major part of Pakistani life, and although they have been the focus for a number of economic and demographic studies, the social and cultural consequences of these trends are less well understood. This book tries in part to rectify this.
