Climate Change Adaptation and Neoliberalism in Bangladesh: A Review of Two Monographs

Author

  • Iqbal, Iftekhar

Abstract

The extraordinary attention paid to Bangladesh’s vulnerability to climate change is puzzling, especially when compared to other countries situated along the South Asian coastal littoral. Even the neighbouring Indian state of West Bengal and Myanmar receive far less alarmist reviews than Bangladesh, which is overwhelmingly singled out as the poster child of climate doom. It is as if climate change has picked a personal feud with the people of Bangladesh. Why is that so? Two recent books, one authored by Camelia Dewan and the other by Kasia Paprocki, should be read as directly addressing this discursive slant, by offering insightful research and compelling ethnography.
