River Life and Death -- Moving Lands in the Skein of Property and Kin Relations -- History and Morality between Floods and Erosion -- Elections on Sandbars and the Remembered Village -- Decay of the River and of Memory -- Death of Children and the Eruption of Myths -- The Chars in Recent Years. "Naveeda Khan's River Life and the Uprising of Nature refigures the relationship between nature and culture through the study of chauras, or people who live on the chars (sandbars) within the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. Based on fieldwork largely conducted between 2011 and 2015, the book explores how nature acts a dynamic force that creates culture and impacts the human mind, body, and desire. The ethnography shows how alluvial flood plains give rise to certain social, political, spiritual, and familiar forms of life and reveals how nature inhabits humans and their prospects for social life. Khan argues that chaura lives are configured by nature and that nature makes persons and cultures in this place"-- ESS Nazia Sharmin Lecturer Department of Economics and Social Sciences The book is urgently required for an upcoming seminar organized by the Anthropology program of the ESS Department R K Corporation 45126 Human ecology Bangladesh Jamuna River. 55783 Rural poor Bangladesh Jamuna River. 55784 Sand bars Bangladesh Jamuna River. 55785 River settlements Bangladesh Jamuna River. 55786 Ayesha Abed Library General Stacks ddc BK 46119 46119 0 4 ddc 0 304_208609549200000_KHA 0 74779 BRACUL BRACUL 2023-11-07 Book Finder International 2994.31 0 304.2086095492 KHA 3010041960 2023-11-07 1 2994.31 2023-11-07 BK 0 0 ddc 0 304_208609549200000_KHA 0 78535 BRACUL BRACUL NEW 2025-11-24 R K Corporation 5900.00 1 1 304.2086095492 KHA 3010045126 2026-05-19 2025-11-25 2025-11-25 1 11800.00 2025-11-24 BK The book is urgently required by Nazia Sharmin (Lecturer, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, BRAC University) for the seminar organized by the Anthropology program of ESS Department
