Description
Understanding Bangladesh by S. Mahmud Ali provides an in-depth account of the Bangladeshi state and its people, seeking to balance the West's limited attention towards this Muslim majority nation. The book explores the key players among Bangladesh's elite, examining their attempts at establishing authority and nation-building. It also considers the challenges faced by the country, including a resurgent form of militant Islamism. Ali offers a nuanced analysis of Bangladesh's political and economic experiences, highlighting both its remarkable achievements and the elemental challenges it faces in the years ahead.
