The book sets out to address this seemingly simple question after large scale floods devastated Pakistan in 2010 and then again in 2011. Along the way, it delves into rich detail about people's everyday encounters with the state in Pakistan, uncovers postcolonial discourses on rights of citizenship and dispels mainstream understanding of Islamist groups as presenting an alternative development paradigm to the state. Based on detailed ethnographic fieldwork, In the Wake of the Disaster forces the reader to look beyond narratives of Pakistan as the perennial 'failing state' falling victim to an imminent 'Islamist takeover'  aDisaster Management vFloods--Social aspectsvDisaster relief--Government policyvDisaster victimsvPolitics and government--1988vIslam and statezPakistan  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2019-09-06eOPg434.35i2019-09-04l0o363.3493095491 SID-Ip50485r2019-09-06 00:00:00v595.00w2019-09-06yBK
