The âProblemâ of Girlsâ Education in Postcolonial Pakistan
A Study of Postcolonial Islamic Governmentalities in Rural Balochistan
Series: - Global Education in the 21st Century, Volume: 9
Author:
This book charts a comprehensive account of girlsâ education in postcolonial Pakistan, and argues that the problem of girlsâ education in rural areas needs to be situated in the construction of knowledge, the practice of power relations, and the contested processes of truth production. Drawing on theories of Foucaultâs governmentality, postcolonialism and feminism, the author explores the context of Pakistan as a postcolonial Islamic nation-state, examines the British colonial legacies of governing institutions, discourses of gender and education, and development of girlsâ education policy and practices. The book contributes to the development of the analytical framework of postcolonial Islamic governmentality and uses the framework to analyse the research data, and education policy texts and discourses.
Javed Anwar, Ph.D. (2022), RMIT University, is a senior public servant in Balochistan and has extensive experience in policy and practice. He has published an article on Girlsâ Education in Balochistan and a book on COVID 19 and the (Broken) Promise of Education for Sustainable Development.
