Artykuł omawia przesilenie ustrojowe w Pakistanie, które trwało w latach 1953– 1955 i zakończyło się praktyczną likwidacją ustroju demokratycznego w tym państwie. Władza wykonawcza (gubernator generalny) w sojuszu z sądowniczą (Sąd Najwyższy) i wojskiem odrzuciła przejęte po Brytyjczykach niepisane zasady regulujące parlamentaryzm, a w końcu rozpędziła i sam parlament. W ostatecznym rozrachunku droga ta powiodła kraj ku autokracji. The article describes the crisis of Pakistani policy between 1953 and 1955, which resulted de facto in the liquidation of democracy. The executive power (Governor-General) allied with the judicial one (Supreme Court) and the army to get rid of the unwritten principles, taken over from the British, regulating the parliamentary order, and finally dissolved the Parliament itself. Ultimately, it led the country to autocracy.

The article reviews the Polish edition of the classical synthesis of Thai history written by Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit. While both the book and the translation are of high quality and worth reading, the former contains a few omissions and dubious opinions, and the latter some mistakes.

The Wizard from the Land of the Dollar, or on the Interpretation of Sources(Summary)A summary of a debate conducted in the 1970s–1990s and relating to an allegorical interpretation of L.F. Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Created in 1964, this interpretation proclaimed that The Wizard could be an expanded parabola of a dispute preceding the election held in the U.S. in 1896 and dealing with the need for the existence of the silver dollar, supporting both its retention in circulation and William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate who promoted this view. Although the notion in question was rather universally accepted among researchers and widely developed by their successors, it proved to be totally unfounded in sources, especially within the context of a biography of the book’s author. Nonetheless, it still resounds in serious scientific publications.

The book under review is a collection of essays analyzing Pakistan’s past, attempting to reevaluate it in a critical, myth-debunking way, and describing the country’s present state while formulating some prescriptions for the future. Many parts of the book reveal the author’s deep insight, showing the fallacies of the official discourse in Pakistan. However, Hoodbhoy’s discourse is often flawed by his disdain for religion, resulting in shallow and biased (if not simply wrong) analyses of Islamic-based thought, and by his inability to reconcile his commitment to modernism as a foundation of good politics with democratic principles.
