Bangladesh, a Muslim majority nation with a population of some 154
million people, receives little notice in the West, other than when
political upheaval or natural disasters bring it to our attention.
In "Understanding Bangladesh", an account of the political and
economic experiences of the Bangladeshi state and its people, S.
Mahmud Ali seeks to redress that imbalance. His book identifies the
key players among Bangladesh's tiny military, political and
business elite, explores the attempts to establish their authority
in a crowded field, and considers the relative merits of their
attempts at nation-building. Ali concludes by outlining both the
remarkable achievements recorded by this land of unusual
narratives, and the elemental challenges its burgeoning populace
faces in the years ahead, among which is a resurgent and highly
politicized form of militant Islamism.
