Shahroza Nahrin

Shahroza Nahrin is interested in exploring questions of genre and Cold War cultural politics. Her project investigates how the transnational circulation of culture, ideology, and anti-imperialist commitments during the global sixties informed irrealist literary practices in East Bengal and, later, Bangladesh. It brings South Asian regional literary formations into dialogue with both Latin American “boom” fiction and Soviet literary traditions. Alongside her scholarly work, she is a literary translator from Bangla into English.
