>Dear Colleagues,

I wonder if education in Pakistan, a multilingual society, will interest
you. There are schools teaching in English, Urdu and Sindhi as well as
religious seminaries (madrassas). They are also divided by socio-economic
class and are polarized in their views about war, religious minorities and
rights of women. If so please read the following book published in October
2004 by the Oxford University Press (Karachi, Pakistan).
TARIQ RAHMAN, Denizens of Alien Worlds: A Study of Education, Inequality
and Polarization in Pakistan (Karachi: Oxford University Press, 2004).
Available from  www.oup.com.pk
Maybe OUP New York can order it too.
Yours sincerely,
Tariq Rahman
