Program Description:
The author will read from two courtroom scenes set in Pakistan's civil and Shariah courts and discuss issues raised by her novel, My Sisters Made of Light (Press 53, 2010). My Sisters Made of Light is a compelling, heartbreaking, and sometimes terrifying look into the social, political, and religious maze that is Pakistan. Half of her proceeds from book sales are donated for the construction of a shelter in Pakistan for women with children who are escaping dangerous situations.
Discussion topics will include:
- Pakistan's Lawyers' Movement
- Honor Crimes-Pakistan's legal system response
- Images of lawyers opposing the firing of the Chief Justice by former President Pervez Musharaff and related photographs of Pakistan
