For those familiar with twentieth-century Pakistan, Basu's work provides a foundation-shifting reading of the period. It rightfully highlights the critical role played by subaltern East Pakistani actors in their own liberation. The changing class composition of East Pakistani society at the time is also given a compelling prominence in the consideration of the links between the left, national populism and the eruption of military dictatorship. Basu's book is a crucial contribution making much-needed inroads into disrupting the dominance of the West in discussions of the sixties as a defining cultural and political epoch.'

It argues that the revolution of 1969 and the national liberation struggle of 1971 were informed by the 'global sixties' that transformed the political landscape of Pakistan and facilitated the birth of Bangladesh. Departing from the typical understanding of the Bangladesh as a product of Indo-Pakistani diplomatic and military rivalry, it narrates how Bengali nationalists resisted the processes of internal colonization by the Pakistani military bureaucratic regime to fashion their own nation. It details how this process of resistance and nation-formation drew on contemporaneous decolonization movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America while also being shaped by the Cold War rivalries between the USA, USSR, and China.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
