- Abstract
The article condemns the Syracuse University Press (SUP) for its withdrawal of the book "Lahore with Love: Growing Up With Girlfriends, Pakistani-Style," by Fawzia Afzal-Khan. It states that the book received positive reviews, but was withdrawn by SUP when threatened by a lawsuit from Madeeha Gauhar, whom the book's main character, Madina, is supposedly based on. Though the suit was withdrawn, SUP refused to produce reprints, and the reasons are explored through recorded communications between those involved. Afzal-Khan decided to self-publish, instead. INSETS: From "Review, Fawzia Afzal-Khan's Lahore with Love";The Booklist;From "Love Is a Battlefield".
