Few figures in twentieth-century South Asia attract as much contested commentary as Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Yasser Latif Hamdani, a lawyer by training, works through the documentary record rather than the reputation built around it.
The biography traces Jinnah's career from constitutional lawyer and advocate of Hindu-Muslim cooperation to leader of the movement that produced Pakistan, drawing on archival material, correspondence and legal papers. Hamdani gives particular attention to Jinnah's political thinking and to the moments where his position shifted, setting out the evidence and leaving readers to weigh it.
Key features:
• A research-led biography drawing on archival and legal sources
• Follows the full arc of Jinnah's public and political career
• Engages directly with competing interpretations of his legacy
• Published in this edition by Pan Macmillan
Written for readers of political biography, South Asian history and partition studies, available from Boipoka.
