“Rule by Fear is a much-needed primer for progressive politics in Pakistan, reminding us of Pakistan’s checkered past, while providing a way forward toward a more egalitarian and socially just future.”
Kamran Asdar Ali
Surkh Salam: Communist Politics and Class Activism in Pakistan 1947-1972

“A fantastic feat by an activist-academic who has worked tirelessly to stand by the ideals he believes in. Ammar Jan has written a book that will be, for years to come, as sourcebook for social historians who are searching for the hidden histories of progressive Pakistan.”
Anushay Malik, Narrowing Politics: The Labour Movement in Lahore, 1947-1974

“Through his rigorous critical analysis, Ammar Jan helps set up a plan for revolutionary praxis as young Pakistani students, feminists, farmers, workers, ethno-nationalists and human rights activists seek to transform the country’s outlook for a better future, an egalitarian society and a radical democracy.”
