Zina, Transnational Feminism, and the Moral Regulation of Pakistani Women

By: Shahnaz Khan

The Zina Ordinance is part of the Hadood Ordinances that were promulgated in 1979 by the military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq, a self-proclaimed president of Pakistan. Since then, tens of thousands of Pakistani women have been charged and incarcerated under the ordinance, which governs illicit sex. Although most of these women are subsequently released for lack of evidence, they spend months or years in jail before trial. To date, these laws still remain in effect, despite international calls for their repeal. Over a five-year-period, Shahnaz Khan interviewed women incarcerated under the zina laws in Pakistan. She argues that the zina laws help situate morality within the individual, thus de-emphasizing the prevalence of societal injustice. She also examines the production and reception of knowledge in the west about women in the third world, identifying a productive tension between living in the west and doing research in the third world. She concludes that transnational feminist solidarity can help women identify the linkages between the local and global and challenge oppressive practices internationally. This analysis will appeal to scholars and students of gender, law, human rights, and Islamic/Middle Eastern studies.

Airplane Mode

Travels in the Ruins of Tourism

By: Shahnaz Habib

Habib [is a] ruthlessly honest and funny observer.' New York Times 'Should be required reading.' Los Angeles Times Truly unique and illuminating, Airplane Mode asks: What does it mean to be a joyous traveller when we live in the ruins of colonialism? The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the colours of passports and the colour of skin. For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious to experience our world and its margins guidebook-free, and an immigrant for whom round trips are an annual fact of life. 'Habib is also brilliant at evoking the quieter pleasures of travel ... this "need to see for oneself what the world was like".' Financial Times 'A memorable and unique travelogue that explores what it means to explore the world through the lens of colonialism, capitalism, and climate change.' Debutiful ]]>
