A Bangladesh Reader: Beyond Nation and State

Mirza Taslima Sultana (Curatore)

Parsa Sanjana Sajid (Curatore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026

This book is an authoritative interdisciplinary resource on Bangladesh and the region’s history, politics, and culture. It provides fine-grained, ethnographic, literary, and historical analyses. The volume interrogates key liberal categories – law, religion, nationalism, and women’s rights – through which knowledge of the national space of Bangladesh has been conventionally produced. The implicit call to question and reconfigure dominant epistemologies and knowledge practices that effectively reinscribe bourgeois, capitalist hegemony is a hallmark of current theorizing from the Global South, one that this volume fully embraces. Rich in cross-disciplinary inquiries from ethnographic case studies to theoretical analyses, this book will be an essential resource for scholars and researchers of Bangladesh studies, South Asian studies, social anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, gender studies, and political science.
