| Description: |
In The Essential Rokeya, Mohammad A. Quayum collates Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's best work in English, as well as Quayum's own translation of her works from Bengali into English, which encapsulate the author's imagination as a foremother of South Asian feminism. |
| Synopsis: |
In The Essential Rokeya, Mohammad A. Quayum brings together, for the first time, some of the best work by one of South Asia's earliest and most heroic feminist writers and activists, who was also a leading figure of the Bengal Renaissance in the nineteenth and early twentieth century - Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932). This collection includes Rokeya's most popular story, Sultana's Dream, and some essays and letters written originally in English, as well as Quayum's own translation of several of her fiction and non-fiction works written originally in Bengali. This will enable readers outside Bangladesh and West Bengal to appraise and appreciate Rokeya's fundamental role in the feminist awakening in South Asia, especially among the Bengali Muslims of her time. |
