Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

In late 1992, a long-standing animosity reached a crisis when Hindu extremists destroyed a mosque in Ayodhya, India. Enraged Muslims responded with a protracted persecution of Hindus throughout the subcontinent. This work recounts that campaign of retaliatory terror as experienced by one Hindu family in Bangladesh and particularly its cynical, stubborn adult son, Suranjan, whose sister Maya is abducted and disappears in the near-chaos. The 1993 Bengali publication of Shame caused great controversy and resulted in a fatwa, or holy judgment, against author Nasrin, a Bengali of Muslim background. A seething indictment of oppression and religious fundamentalism couched precariously as a novel, this important work is impassioned but difficult to read. More reportage and protest than story, it is recommended more for its historic than its literary value. Purchase for larger collections.?Janet Ingraham, Worthington P.L., Ohio

When the Barbri Mosque at Ayodhya, India, was destroyed by Hindu fundamentalists on December 6,1992, fierce mob reprisals took place against the Hindu minority in Muslim Bangladesh. These incidents form the backdrop for Dr. Taslima Nasrin's explosive and courageous book, Shame, describing the nightmarish fate of one family within her country's small Hindu community.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Popularity only because of anti-muslim theme, Janv. 14 2003
Par Un client
The only reason this book got so many four or five stars is that this book is very anti-muslim at its core. This is a way below standard book. Unfortunately anything anti-islamic or anti-muslim, even if it is a third class literature, is a super hit among the hindus. Is there any conscientious hindu writer in India who wrote anything about the numerous genocide and rapes of thousands of muslims (very recently in Gujrat orchestrated by the terrorist and extremist fascist BJP) in India? Shamefully India can not produce a single one. "Shames" are happening to the minorities in many times worse forms in India.

4.0étoiles sur 5 persecution is such a guarded word, Avril 2 2002
Par ganesh rao (not in the neigbourhood) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book deals with genocide and not persecution. Genocide of a minority and eliminating thier existence completely.Just as the Nazis went about systematically eliminating jews , so have the govts and religious bigots gone about systematically eliminating hindus in both Pakistan and Bangladesh. These countries which had quite a significant hindu population at the beginning of the 19th century have next to none now because of well planned genocide , rape and systematic conversion. Taslima Nasrin is a Humanist. It doesnt matter if she will not be a literate giant. She will always be remembered in the hearts of those who have suffered at the hands of islamic fundamentalism.

4.0étoiles sur 5 not extreme, Janv. 17 2002
Par Ruth (Melbourne) - Voir tous mes commentaires
In 1992, some Hindus in India destroyed the Babri mosque. In retaliation, violence against Hindus spread across Bangladesh. Thug violence is not uncommon in Bangladesh (particularly around election time), and Bangladesh is not a high-profile country, and so little comment was made about these events internationally.
Naslim - originally a muslim herself (although now she claims to be an athiest) - wrote Shame in protest. It took her 7 days, and it shows by being a raw, occasionally awkward book. It follows the activities of the hindu anti-hero Suranjan, and his family, during the period of violence. This is not a particularly extreme book. In no way does it suggest that hindus are good and muslims are bad. Instead, it explores the effect of violence and oppression on the psychology and relationships of people. It feels very real. It reminds me of David Grossman's writing on Israel: that the oppression contaminates both sides. Grossman describes the situation there as two apples pressed together and rot spreading on both.
Nasrin does not lie or exaggerate what happened in Bangladesh. True, she does not include the full politics of India, Pakistan, British rule, partition etc., but that's because this is a novel about a family in Bangladesh. Its scale is intimate.
While Nasrin's novel is not extreme, the reaction to it is. Islamic fundamentalists have offered a large cash reward to anybody who murders her. She now lives outside Bangladesh.
I like Nasrin. I like her honesty, intense intelligence and courage, all of which come through in this book. Elsewhere, she has made comments about abolishing Quranic law because of its discrimination of women. I like that too.
Bangladesh is a forgotten country. Inside it, controversial, informed voices (especially women's) are rarely heard. The country needs people like Nasrin. People should read books like hers, whether or not their views are the same. It's intelligent to do so.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A lopsided treatment of a very complex issue
Taslima does write it out but her authorship is mediocre at best. Also, she suffers from narrow focus - the greater perspective is lost. This book is definitely not an epic. Read more

1.0étoiles sur 5 Teslima Nasreen has no idea what she's talking about...
I don't know why Teslima Nasrin has a totally different point of view about everything she writes. I think it's a 'shame' that we have such a hypocrite writer in our country.
