The Hidden Architecture of Caste in Pakistan
Ghulam Hussain’s Architecture of Caste in Pakistan: Dalit Assertions in a Culture of Denial (Routledge, 2026, pp. 322) offers a groundbreaking analysis of the intersectional structures of caste, class, gender and religion sustaining an architecture of inequality that is officially and publicly denied. Through what he coins as “engaged anthropology,” he elevates subaltern voices and ontologies as central to the analysis of casteist society.
