This work of research by Taj Hashmi puts the issue of women's position in society in historical as well as Islamic perspectives to relate it to the objective conditions in Bangladesh. In eight illuminating chapters, he narrates how Quranic edicts about women have through the ages been misinterpreted by the power elites and the mullahs to suppress women. Even NGOs are not immune from exploiting them. Hope, according to the author, lies in the literacy and economic self-reliance of the Bangladeshi women.

Pakistan As A Peasant Utopia: The Communalization Of Class Politics In East Bengal, 1920-1947

This study brings to light the important and often-ignored role of East Bengali peasants in the formation of an independent East Pakistan. The author shows how religion and ethnicity played much more important roles than did class differences in convincing the peasants to support a homeland for Indian Muslims.
