Abstract
The Great Padma: The Epic River That Made the Bengal Delta is a new volume that introduces the power, complexity, and cultural richness of the Padma to a global audience. The Great Padma is edited by Bangladeshi architecture scholar Kazi Khaleed Ashraf. Like the Bengal Institute’s other work, The Great Padma explores and illuminates Bangladesh and the eastern Bengal Delta, a region that has long been ignored or presented as a domain of poverty, vulnerability, and developmentalist intervention. The book, with 400 pages of visual and narrative material from dozens of contributors, depicts the complexity of the Padma in all of its culture-defining, landscape-molding, and devastation-wreaking power. The Great Padma will be of particular interest to readers engaged with the landscapes, built environments, and cultures of the eastern Bengal Delta and South Asia more broadly.
