Representing Children by Ali Khan
The book examines the determinants of child labour in a specific situation not as the stereotypical response to poverty and the underdevelopment but as being rooted in more local determinants. It also investigates - through the example and analysis of the Sialkot Football Industry - how the process of development so often marginalizes those it professes to benefit.Ali Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Department Chair at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Lahore University of Management Sciences. His research interests vary from labor issues, particularly child and bonded labor to popular culture in Pakistan, focusing
particularly on cinema and sports. He has previously worked in Washington and in Islamabad for the World Bank's South Asia Region and with the International Labor Organization primarily on projects related to child and bonded labour.
