内容説明
"Culture and Customs of Bangladesh" supplies readers of all backgrounds with in-depth knowledge on the contemporary cultural, social, and literary life of Bangladesh. While intended primarily as a reference book for high school and undergraduate students, this book remains accessible and appealing for general readers as well. Narrative chapters on topics including religion, marriage, gender, holidays, leisure activities, cuisine, fashion, literature, art, and popular culture give readers an in-depth view of life in Bangladesh. The author provides a careful ethnography of Bangladeshi history, literature, culture and society, documenting how native ideologies of Bangladeshi culture, literature, and language affect the community to sociopolitical ends. This book also highlights the roles of global and South Asian influences on Bangladeshi culture.
