  • Description: The author emphasises the impossibility of analysing these forms of hierarchy without taking into consideration their sacralisation. [...]social stratification and Islam are not conceived by the author as distinct, but related areas. Rituals such as the visit to the tomb (ziarat), the annual celebration of the death of the saint (urs or «marriage» to God), and the ecstatic dance (dhamal) are described with special attention to the cult of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar of Sehwan Sharif, perhaps the most renown Sufi saint in the province, and one of the most celebrated in Pakistan. [...]the book by Michel Boivin is an important contribution to our knowledge of Pakistani society.
