Abstract

This article explores the concept of power in Bina Shah’s A Season for Martyrs,
and the sufferings of the people of third world countries including Pakistan. Even after the
demise of colonialism in the modern era, America for the couple of decades has been putting her
influence on the third world countries in different political, economic, cultural and social circles.
She has been doing so by adopting new techniques of imperialism i.e. neo-imperialism,
globalization and neo-liberalism. Shah in her work presents the indirect rule of Americans to
sustain their power and the distresses of third world countries, especially Pakistan in the existing
age.
