Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million people, a place of political turbulence where lavish wealth and absolute poverty sit side by side, and where the lines between idealism and corruption can quickly blur. Through the stories of those who know the city best, including a journalist, an activist, and an ambulance driver, Samira Shackle paints a vivid, vibrant, and often violent portrait of Karachi over the past decade. A period during which the Taliban arrived in Pakistan, adding to the daily perils of its residents and pushing their city into the international spotlight. Nuanced and fast-paced, Karachi Vice is an immersive, electrifying journey around one of the most compelling cities in the world.
