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 the Hunza people's perceptions of 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.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46495822282903,"sku":"9780300205558","price":9324.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300205558.webp?v=1769186765","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/remoteness-and-modernity-transformation-and-continuity-in-northern-pakistan-9780300205558","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
