Books
His work, Pakistan as a Peasant Utopia (1992), shows during 1920–1947 how religious, kinship, and factional ties cut across class alignments, leading to the communalization of class struggle between the peasants and the exploiting classes in East Bengal. This book attempts to shed light on peasant politics, almost synonymous with Muslim politics in the Bengal region, during 1920–1947, the significant period when East Bengal was going through the political process that culminated in the creation of East Pakistan in 1947. His book Women and Islam in Bangladesh: Beyond Subjection and Tyranny was awarded the Justice Ibrahim Gold Medal (Bangladesh) in 2001 and was a bestseller in Asian Studies.
