This book, in a profound way, argues that Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh, in his poem 'Complaint,' challenges one's understanding of, and relationship toward, nature, humankind, and God. Its scholarship ranges across literature, literary criticism, history, politics, law, economics, ecology, philosophy (including theology), political theory, and race relations. The book seeks to open people's eyes to the all-pervading reach of domination in human life. It looks at corruption as disease that spreads, without regard for any borders-whether they be of race, ethnicity, social status, gender, religion, political alignments, territorial markers.
