Pakistan's Nuclear Exclusion Living with Orientalism

Developed over six chapters, Pakistan>'s Nuclear Exclusion provides an account of how orientalism is a lived experience of post-colonial racism, injustice, and inequality amongst members of the nuclear community in Pakistan.The account is produced through interviews with members of the community consisting of students, academics, and physicists in Pakistan. Rahim offers unique insights into how Pakistan>'s nuclear
community is not only perceived and represented but also how it seeks to operate in a wider nuclear community dominated by Western nuclear powers. The provision of such highly contextualised insights is enabled by the book setting
out to both (a) provide analytical space for and (b) 's nuclear community; and (3) empirical findings which produce categories of the
experience of orientalism into areas of the everyday DS exclusion, making a career, Islamophobia, technology denial and self-reliance. Pakistan>'s Nuclear Exclusion is enormously valuable to the research community as well as extremely
well-conceived and researched. In addition, much of the methodology chapter offers a level of sophistication and self-reflection that translates well in the interview material and its subsequent analysis.
