This is a compendium of articles, originally published
elsewhere, that focus on language, education, and culture
in Pakistan, where the author has spent most of his career.
As he admits in the general introduction, the articles
were not initially written as chapters for a book, so they
do not each focus on a single argument; but since they
have these three themes as they relate to Pakistan as their
organizing idea, with few other sources to guide us, we
can get some general ideas about these issues as they play
out in Pakistan.
