{"product_id":"kazi-nazrul-islams-journalism-arka-deb-9789356400085","title":"Kazi Nazrul Islam's Journalism: A Critique","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrated as the national poet of Bangladesh and fondly commemorated in India as the 'Rebel Poet', Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976) is widely known for his poetry and music, although his political philosophy and anti-colonial revolutionary sentiments are best expressed in his journalistic writings.\u003cbr\u003eNazrul's journalistic career spans across three key newspapers: \u003ci\u003eNabajug\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDhumketu\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLangol\u003c\/i\u003e. Editorials in \u003ci\u003eNabajug\u003c\/i\u003e addressed a diverse range of subjects, including untouchability, racial discrimination, power structure and the importance of communal harmony. \u003ci\u003eDhumketu\u003c\/i\u003e, perhaps the most signifi-cant amongst Nazrul's revolutionary contributions, became a testimonial to the reclamation of India's complete freedom, which eventually proved perilous for Nazrul. \u003ci\u003eLangol\u003c\/i\u003e, the mouthpiece of the Labour Swaraj Party, was the -first Bengali paper speci-fically for and by the working class. It provided voice to the labourers and peasants, speaking self-reflexively about the nation's agro-economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKazi Nazrul Islam's Journalism\u003c\/i\u003e brings together for the fi-rst time in English Nazrul's editorials published in the colonial Indian subcontinent and showcases Nazrul's far-reaching views on subjects close to his heart. By critically examining these essays, Arka Deb establishes Nazrul's relevance in the current times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arka Deb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9356400083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789356400085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.32w x 1.00d","brand":"Arka Deb","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122299302143,"sku":"9789356400085","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32f2cd09-84ed-4086-b8ab-90b1d687db49.jpg?v=1687424330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kazi-nazrul-islams-journalism-arka-deb-9789356400085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
