Life Stories #47: Shahan Mufti

Shahan Mufti is "100% American and 100% Pakistani," born in Ohio after his parents emigrated in the 1970s--and then they took him back a few years later. Today, he frequently reports on events in Pakistan for Western media... and in attempting to explain the history of his ancestral nation, he found that it was virtually inseparable from his family's story. The Faithful Scribe, then, is both a family saga and a political history, a closer look at a nation that's become the center of "the clash of civilizations" even as it's tried to build a bridge between them.
