    A powerful debut novel by an award-winning author who "offers the reader a glimpse into the lives of women who are largely ignored by society."- Meera Ekkanath Klein, author of the award-winning My Mother's Kitchen: A Novel with Recipes and Seeing CeremonyA law student at Dhaka University, Afsana's future is bright. Her greatest concern is whether or not her parents will approve of her marriage. When they do, the young bride knows she can face anything the future holds. Then war breaks out.Six years later, she encounters a ghost from her past-her first husband, presumed dead in the fighting. My War, My Child vividly and compassionately tells the story of Bengali birangona, the war heroines, whose lives were brutally torn apart by the 1971 War for Independence. Though the fight resulted in the freedom and independent nation so craved by the Bengali people, hundreds of thousands of women's lives were devastated, leaving them to scrape together the pieces and carry on as best they could-often with children and orphans forced upon them.This is a piece of history you've never heard before, an inside look at the resilience and strength of women around the world.

    "Drawing on the experiences in the former border enclaves of India inside Bangladesh, Sovereign Atonement provides a rich ethnographic reading of the role of the state and the sovereign in excluding and including the same population and spaces within its mandate. It focuses on the aspects of (non-)citizenship, sovereign exclusion and resistance, territory, nationalism, land and property relations, rules of governance, and (post-colonial) state-making in Bangladesh. It demonstrates that enclaves remain key locations to (re)think sovereign violence. It focuses on the crucial moment of enclave exchange in 2015 and subsequent periods when numerous acts of sovereign in/exclusion and production of legible state spaces were at their peak. The unique temporality of the work allows glimpses into a rare contrast of experiences of "bare lives" residing in a "state of exception." Through its analysis, the book emerges not only as a temporal analysis of sovereignty and citizenship, but also as a lens to explain why and how the sovereign chose a specific category of citizens over others for extraordinary treatments, both in projecting violence and in extending exceptional privileges. The book addresses territorial exchange, sovereign rule, and state-making in the border enclaves by crossing boundaries between geography, anthropology, sociology, and area studies"--

    "When you work on the streets of Dhaka, crime is part of everyday life. Rackets are ubiquitous, political muscle widespread and territory often fought over. Locals refer to the syndicate that lie behind the faðcade of the city, controlling who works where, how services are delivered and who profits. Based on years of research, Syndicates and Societies reveals how syndicates shape life in Kawran Bazaar, the largest marketplace in Bangladesh, and offers a new approach to understanding the nexus of crime and politics. The book traces the bazaar's history from a heartland of gangsters to being dominated by ruling party leaders and state officials. It follows a group of labourers as they seek a place in this world, aligning themselves to leaders, orchestrating bombings and fighting off rivals. Syndicates and Societies thus explores the relationship between crime and order, revealing a world of extortionists and informers, political muscle and union leaders"--

    In Zeiten globaler Krisen sind auch in der Architektur neue Wege gefragt, welche klimatisch und gesellschaftlich nachhaltige Ansätze verfolgen. Das von Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana entworfene Friendship Hospital im südlichen Bangladesch darf diesbezüglich als pionierhaft gelten. Das Spital, welches 2022 mit dem RIBA International Prize ausgezeichnet wurde, bringt lebenswichtige Gesundheitsversorgung, aber auch Identität in eine von Wirbelstürmen heimgesuchte und infolge des Meeresspiegelanstiegs von Bodenversalzung betroffene Küstenregion. Die in lokalem Backstein gehaltene Architektur, welche das wertvolle Regenwasser sammelt und den Wind zur natürlichen Kühlung nutzt, setzt sich subtil mit spezifischen Eigenheiten im grössten Flussdelta der Erde auseinander, um gleichzeitig universelle architektonische Mittel wie Raum, Licht und Proportionen zum Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen und Patienten sowie ihrer Angehörigen einzusetzen. Eine profund aus der Geografie und der Geschichte des lokalen Kontexts entwickelte architektonische Denkweise erlangt in diesem Werk globale Relevanz. Das Buch, welches u. a. einen Fotoessay von Hélène Binet umfasst, gibt mittels Plänen, Diagrammen, Modellfotos und Skizzen Einblicke in den Entwurfs- und Bauprozess in einer von der Klimakrise am stärksten betroffenen Region der Erde.In times of global crises, architecture must also seek new sustainable approaches to climatic and social challenges. Designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, the Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh can be regarded as pioneering in this respect. The hospital, which was awarded the 2022 RIBA International Prize, provides life-saving healthcare, as well as enhancing the identity of a coastal region that has been devastated by cyclones and soil salinisation as a result of rising sea levels. Constructed in local brickwork, the architecture collects the valuable rainwater and uses the wind for natural cooling, while subtly interacting with specific characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also applies universal architectural means such as space, light and proportions to ensure the well-being of patients and the people close to them. A profound architectural stance developed out of the geography and history of the local context makes this work globally relevant. This book, which includes a photo essay by Hélène Binet, presents plans, diagrams and model photos that offer insight into the design and construction process in one of the world's most climate-affected regions.

    The economic and social development that Bangladesh has achieved in the past two decades has made Bangladesh a development paradox. This book tries to explain this paradox through a political economy lens. The book explains the linkages between the state, changing society and emerging private sector, and examines whether the social transformation taking place in Bangladesh has the potential to live up to the expectations of a middle- income country.The early part of the book unravels the myriad relations between the state, society and market to project the aspirations of a newly independent nation. It analyzes how political turmoil, militarization of politics, politicization of institutions, reforms initiatives, industrial and social development policies, and the power nexus influenced the nature of the political economy of Bangladesh. The book goes on to examine how domestic appetite for capital and raw materials, the digital revolution, and the capacity of the local market to absorb expanded economic activities have created an environment that catalyzes innovation and entrepreneurship. The book also explains how the country has attempted to transform from an agrarian to a manufacturing- based economy, with rapid growth in the ready- made garment industry, pisciculture, pharmaceuticals and the ICT sector.Bangladesh's journey from an emerging economy towards a developed country would interest those researching on development economics and those in policy making.

    The ten chapters collected in this book manifest the current global interest in trans-border dialogues and trace the origins and development of Italian and Bengali internationalisms in the period from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. Despite having differing political statuses and lacking a shared geographical or historical space, Bengal and Italy remained uniquely connected and, at times, actively sought to transcend different kinds of constraints in their search for a significant dialogue and mutual enrichment in the fields of literature, music, architecture, art, cinema, diplomacy, entrepreneurship, travels, education and intellectual engagement. In this context, the volume confronts strategies of evaluation adopted by prominent representatives of the Bengali and Italian cultural environments with particular emphasis on readings embedded in the moment of contact. Both regions benefitted from this 'elective affinity' as they advanced along their respective paths towards a fuller awareness of their specific identity, and thus set a positive example of transcultural understanding which may inspire today's world.

  • af Suchitra Samanta
    439,95 - 1.119,95 kr.

    In Kali in Bengali Lives, Suchitra Samanta examines Bengalis' personal narratives of Kali devotion in the Bhakti tradition. These personal experiences, including miraculous encounters, reflect on broader understandings of divine power. Where the revelatory experience has long been validated in Indian epistemology, the devotees' own interpretive framework provides continuity within a paradigm of devotion and of the miraculous experience as intuitive insight (anubhuti) into a larger truth. Through these unique insights, the miraculous experience is felt in its emotional power, remembered, and reflected upon. The narratives speak to how the meaning of a religious figure, Kali, becomes personally significant and ultimately transformative of the devotee's self.

    1.145,95 kr.

    This edited book investigates how life is affected by the increasingly authoritarian regime in Bangladesh.Earlier a flawed but real electoral democracy, over the last several years Bangladesh has been characterised as a 'hybrid regime' in The Economist's Democracy Index. Today it is a country in which law still rules and leaders are still chosen - but only on paper. The uniqueness of this book is not in defining regime type or investigating trajectories. It is in its efforts to study how these changes affect everyday life. All chapters are based on intimate knowledge of a field, on first-hand experience, and on interviews and ethnography. This book will interest political scientists and scholars of Bangladesh, the Islamic world and beyond, with findings of broad relevance to hybrid regimes.

    The tourism and hospitality industry of Bangladesh as a South Asian country has potential. Sustainable development of this industry in this country is on the move. Still, there are some hindrances which appear to be stymieing this industry's overall development potential. Overcoming such hindrances can be partly enabled by applying digital innovation and introducing more Internet based platforms in the country's tourism and hospitality industry. The country is believed to have emphasized innovative technology application in this industry, but technology applications in this industry in Bangladesh have so far attracted very few researchers, resulting in insufficient contributions and very limited knowledge.This book, therefore, can make a significant contribution towards the very limited knowledge in this identified research area. On the specific ground of technology application in the tourism and hospitality industry, the book covers concepts and context, the present scenario, product and service offers, and an analysis of the roles of public and private institutions. On related issues, the book also covers social media, networking and connectivity; sustainability practices and climate change effects; tourist experiences; developments; and challenges, suggestions, and future research directions. The book is expected to appeal to general readers, as well as researchers with an interest in technology applications in the tourism and hospitality industry. This book is also an essential read for the relevant policy planners and industry professionals.

    This book addresses disaster and disaster risk reduction (DRR) practices, constraints and capacity in the context of coastal Bangladesh.Located in the lower riparian of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh has to face frequent disasters such as floods, cyclones, river erosion, salinity intrusion as well as drought. Drawing together a range of multidisciplinary perspectives, Coastal Disaster Risk Management in Bangladesh explores the connection between climate change and DRR issues in this region. The editors reorganize disaster studies around social and physical changes that can reduce these risks and put at risk populations on a stronger footing by making risk reduction the focus. These include measures to improve disaster preparedness, to boost recovery by creating better disaster planning and programs, and physical and social initiatives to improve disaster resilience. Also, analyzing the gender perspective, the volume also utilizes the local knowledge framework to consider whether these populations have resilient knowledge that needs to be incorporated into initiatives based on advanced technology and perspectives.This book will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, policymakers and practitioners in the field of disaster, DRR and governance, climate change, climate change adaptation (CCA) and the environment.

    This book explores Bangladesh's shift from a 'bottomless pit' into a 'middle-income' category. Six chapters in the book cover topics on microfinance growth, ready-made garment production, and social safety net programs playing pivotal roles particularly for women empowerment. In doing so, the book shows that the net effect was not just a change to the country's limited number of representative brands, but also a realization of many more brands to have built up over time.

    This volume explores the discourse of disaster and women in the existing social settings and state disaster-related affairs in coastal Bangladesh. It covers various issues ranging from disproportionate vulnerability, coping and adaptation mechanisms for women, limitations for promoting participation and involvement of women in the decision-making process both in family and community and changes in the role and responsibilities of women for reducing disaster risk and vulnerability. It contributes to the deconstruction of gender-based identity by addressing women's changing practices and roles in the coastal area in terms of the involvement of women with the development process, earning/income generation activities, decision-making process, access and entitlements to resources. This book presents the most current and inclusive circumstances of disaster and women of the coastal area in Bangladesh. The insights obtained through the eyes of a sociologist from a holistic perspective make this book different and unique. The book is of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers and professionals engaged in the social understanding of disaster studies, as well as to researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains, including sociology, gender studies, social work, environmental studies, and development studies.

    MARINA TABASSUM Architecture: My Journey is the first book devoted to the Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her multifaceted architectural oeuvre.Marina Tabassum's exploratory approach makes her architectural practice one of the outstanding contemporary positions internationally. Her diverse oeuvre spans from governmental projects to housing and has brought her numerous honors and accolades in the international field of architecture.This volume presents various public and private building projects that Marina Tabassum has worked on since 1995, first with the architectural office URBANA and since 2005 through Marina Tabassum Architects (MTA). The selection of her architecture in this book ranges from early projects in the city of Dhaka shortly after completing her studies at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), such as the Museum of Independence and the celebrated Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, to recent mobile modular structures called Khudi Bari. Tabassum is establishing the latter for the people affected by displacement in various geographically and climatically challenged locations-both in the Ganges Delta and in the Rohingya refugee camp at Cox's Bazar on the border to Myanmar, which is currently the largest refugee camp in the world.The internationally renowned authors reflect on various perspectives and interpretations of Tabassum's work. Besides the historical and political background, the contributions deal, among other things, with spotlighting particular architectural elements that pervade Tabassum's work, such as place and memory, light and spirituality, brick and materiality, and people and community.With contributions by Sean Anderson, Vera Simone Bader, Kareem Ibrahim, Hanif Kara, Andres Lepik, Nondita Correa Mehrotra, Tanzil Shafique, Cristina Steingräber, Marina Tabassum, Sarah M. Whiting, and Danny Wicaksono.

    The book provides a comprehensive conceptual understanding covering major challenges and pathways to progressively promote inclusive development in Bangladesh.Since independence in 1971, Bangladesh has achieved significant economic growth and social progress, but the benefits have not been shared equitably across all groups in society, and there is the demand that inclusive development should be at the core of the country's development agenda. Analysing inclusive development in Bangladesh, the authors present it as synonymous with improving the well-being of all individuals in a comprehensive manner along with upholding the principles of equity and justice. The book shows that the multidimensionality of inclusive development facilitates the participation of all in society in development through enhancing capabilities and ensuring equal opportunities. The analysis highlights social investments in specific concerns of the marginalised and disadvantaged groups and unequal structural forces that compel the state to remain biased towards the rich and consequent 'elite capture' of the state in Bangladesh. Arguing that Bangladesh has moved closer towards applying the inclusive development tenets in policy making, the book's findings show that the challenge is the absence of any generic formula to ensure that the country is moving towards a more inclusive development path.A valuable contribution to the study of Bangladesh's changing dynamics of political, economic and social configurations and development economics, the book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of economics, Asian studies and development studies.

    Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 9.5/10, University of Dhaka (Institute of Business Administration), course: Bachelor of Business Administration, language: English, abstract: Bangladesh is expected to be a developed country by 2050. It is still lagging in the power sector with 20% of the population yet to see the lights of electricity. However, the growth over the past decade has been staggering in this sector. It has seen a rise of around 12000 Megawatt power generation capacity from 2009. Bangladesh Government has set an ambition to reach 60000 Megawatt capacity by 2041. This ambitious loft requires heavy financial backing, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) being the primary route. This study is aimed towards understanding the possible impact that FDI will have on the Power and Energy Sector of Bangladesh, as well as the subsequent shift in Bangladesh¿s economic indices.
