  • State, religion, and environmentalism: Fostering social cohesion and environmental protection in Singapore

    Andrew Chan, Andy Chan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Sociology2015Cited by: 1References: 14

    Religions are taking on an increasingly influential role in driving the environmental movement and shaping the public policy in the world. However, little research has been done in Singapore to determine the extent to which religious environmental concerns affect state–religion relations despite the nation-state being home to a multitude of traditions. Using data from a survey that utilizes quota sampling, this study addresses this gap in two way…

  • Minority Islam” in Muslim Majority Bangladesh: The Violent Road to a New Brand of Secularism

    Mirajul Islam, Saidul Islam et al.ARTICLEInstitute of Muslim Minority…2011Cited by: 14

    More than 85% of Bangladesh's 150 million people are Muslims. Bangladesh earns its title as "the third largest Muslim country of the world" following Indonesia and Pakistan because of its enormous size of Muslim population. Their religion, Islam, is however becoming a "minority" day by day. While Muslims in the West—in spite of being a minority—are enjoying their basic religious freedom, this basic right is increasingly being denied to the Muslim…

  • From Sea to Shrimp Processing Factories in Bangladesh: Gender and Employment at the Bottom of a Global Commodity Chain

    Open AccessMirajul Islam, Md Saidul IslamARTICLEJournal of South Asian Development2008Cited by: 8References: 19

    Shrimp aquaculture in Bangladesh linking the European Union, the USA, and Japan exhibits several characteristics of a buyer-driven global commodity chain (GCC). The study shows that, along with the effects of local conditions, buyers’ pressures transmitted through the GCC affect gender and employment relations in the lower segments of the chain. It has been found that the feminisation of the workforce in aquaculture is accompanied by the marginal…

  • In Search of “White Gold”: Environmental and Agrarian Changes in Rural Bangladesh

    Mirajul Islam, Md Saidul IslamARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2008Cited by: 7References: 5

    Commercial shrimp in Bangladesh is locally known as “white gold” because of its high transnational value. Historically, farmers have confined shrimp culture to ocean coastlines because shrimp require large volumes of saltwater to reproduce and mature. Recent developments in Bangladesh suggest, however, that the once purely coastal nature of this activity could soon be a thing of the past. Many Bangladeshi rice farmers are adopting low-salinity cu…

  • Muslims in the Capitalist Discourse: September 11 and its Aftermath

    Mirajul Islam, Saidul Islam et al.ARTICLEInstitute of Muslim Minority…2005Cited by: 1

    A careful reading and examination of capitalism adumbrates the fact that capitalism expands by constantly revolutionizing its mode of production, and discursively creating and recreating different domains of thought, as without these, capitalism would die. Capitalism discursively created the Third World and thereby deployed a regime of control and power to rule over it. ‘Muslims’ became a new domain of thought and hence a new problematization in …
