DESCRIPTION:Join Prof. Subho Basu (History and Classical Studies) for the l
 aunch of his book\, Intimation of Revolution: Global Sixties and the Makin
 g of Bangladesh (Cambridge UP). Prof. Basu will be joined in conversation 
 by a panel of scholars including English's own Prof. Sandeep Banerjee.\n\n
 \nAbout the book:\n\nIntimation of Revolution studies the rise of Bengali 
 nationalism in East Pakistan in the 1950s and 60s by showcasing the intera
 ctions between global politics and local social and economic developments.
  It argues that the revolution of 1969 and the national liberation struggl
 e of 1971 were informed by the 'global sixties' that transformed the polit
 ical landscape of Pakistan and facilitated the birth of Bangladesh. Depart
 ing from the typical understanding of the Bangladesh as a product of Indo-
 Pakistani diplomatic and military rivalry\, it narrates how Bengali nation
 alists resisted the processes of internal colonization by the Pakistani mi
 litary bureaucratic regime to fashion their own nation. It details how thi
 s process of resistance and nation-formation drew on contemporaneous decol
 onization movements in Asia\, Africa\, and Latin America while also being 
 shaped by the Cold War rivalries between the USA\, USSR\, and China.\n
