Abstract:
The paper tries to understand Tahmima Anam’s project of writing history of the
Liberation War of 1971. Based on E.H. Carr’s idea of history, I have tried to explain the selective and interpretive mode of Anam’s subjective historiography. In particular, I am interested to understand how her writing is different from objective news reporting on liberation war and subjective and overtly passionate war literature. I shall argue that as a post-war generation writer, Anam has tried to pursue a moderate middle path in order to avoid many historical controversies.
