Book Info
Bangladesh is in the midst of a rapid transformation. In just a few short decades, lives built on agrarian simplicity and its attendant cultural traditions-many dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years-have given way to urbanization, industrialization, and globalization, accelerated by 24-7 connectivity throughout most of the country. The pace of change has left recent generations separated not just by gaps, but by chasms. This book is a product of that chasm. Tanvir's silhouettes of a world rooted in the soil of Bangladesh- like memories drained of color and detail-contrast with the poetic reflections of his niece, Nabiha, whose words echo stories, themes, and sentiments grounded in a globalized world. "Homeward" is a testament to the beauty that can be found in the interplay of differences and the creativity that emerges when worlds collide.
