Abstract

I highly recommend MatthiasWeinreich's incisive book on the entrepreneurial migrations and settlements of Pashto-speaking peoples or Pashtuns from Western Pakistan, Afghanistan and other regions to the Northern of Pakistan since the midnineteenth century to the mid-1990s. Arguably, it constitutes the first ‘comprehensive' treatment of Pashtun migration in the Northern Areas (p. 7), and thus, a single-case study has been necessary to fill this gap in empirical knowledge (p. 7).Weinreich's findings can contribute to an increased insight about migrant behaviour. Yet-and that is my onlymajor criticism-Weinreich has not put his research in any comparative or theoretical context. (First paragraph.)
