This revised and updated edition reveals the vibrant, colourful past of Bangladesh, chiefly known in the West through media images of poverty, underdevelopment and disasters. Based on the latest academic research and richly illustrated, this is a fascinating and highly readable account of life in Bangladesh over the last two millennia.
Bangladesh did not exist as an independent state until 1971. Willem van Schendel''s state-of-the-art history navigates the extraordinary twists and turns that created modern Bangladesh through ecological disaster, colonialism, partition, a war of independence and cultural renewal. In this revised and updated edition, Van Schendel offers a fascinating and highly readable account of life in Bangladesh over the last two millennia. Based on the latest academic research and covering the numerous historical developments of the 2010s, he provides an eloquent introduction to a fascinating country and its resilient and inventive people. A perfect survey for travellers, expats, students and scholars alike.
