The environmental humanities-founded on the indivisible
human-environment nexus-focus on socioeconomic inequalities,
injustices, and various cultural differences to explain
environmental degradation and crises and to propose solutions. The
Bangladesh Environmental Humanities Reader: Environmental Justice,
Developmental Victimhood, and Resistance presents unique analyses
of Bangladesh's environment-development relationships. The book
looks at developmental victimhood, environmental injustices, and
resistance of the marginalized in Bangladesh. It reflects how the
popular GDP-based economic development model motivates governments
of Bangladesh to undertake infrastructural and "development"
projects, the growth of which threatens environment and livelihood
of the poorer sections while benefiting the affluent profiteers.
The book also critically engages with environmentalism represented
through the literary works in Bangla through tales of pollution,
depletion, and human-nature symbiosis, showing ways to achieve
social justice to resist victimhood through art. Moreover,
agricultural technologies shaped by cultivators-scientists'
collaborations are often helpful for biodiversity conservation,
notwithstanding those that ruin ecology and livelihood. Against the
backdrop of climate change challenges, this book shows how politics
and technology meet in many cross-cutting pathways.
