Two of my favorite anthropology books situated in Pakistan have been Transforming Faith by Sadaf Ahmed and Migrants and Militants by Oscar Verkaaik. Transforming Faith is an exploration of why urban, educated and relatively affluent women are turning to conservative religion, in this case a Muslim revivalist movement headed by Farhat Hashmi, a woman. It's also gives you a good idea on the limits of 'Islamic Feminism'. Migrants and Militants studies the MQM, a very unique political party with a very unique history based in Karachi and their rituals, language, myths and history.
