Bibliography | ziauddinsardar.com

This bibliography concentrates on Sardar’s intellectual and scholarly output, ignoring much of his journalism. We have, however, included articles and essays of intellectual significance that have appeared in some magazines. Also included are some reviews published since 1980; but it has not been possible to include all of the translations of Sardar’s work into other languages. Books that have appeared in different editions, and papers and essays published in more than one journal, are grouped together under the year of the original publication.
