Dr. Azfar Hussain is an Associate Professor of Liberal Studies/Interdisciplinary Studies at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, while he has also taught English and World Literature, Ethnic Studies, and Cultural Studies at Washington State University, Bowling Green State University, and Oklahoma State University. In Bangladesh, he worked as a magazine editor, a member of a national-level left activist alliance, and as a university teacher of English before he came to the United States on a Fulbright fellowship. Azfar Hussain has published—in both English and Bengali—numerous academic and creative pieces, including translations from several non-western languages. Interested in theory in the largest sense—while believing that politics, poetics, and praxis need to be organically orchestrated together in the service of radical social change—Hussain has written on a range of topics from Native American poetics and politics to Marxist political economy to third-world literatures. Hussain is the author of The World in Question: Essays in Political Economy and Cultural Politics (Dhaka: Samhati Publications), while he has co-edited the two-volume reader Reading About the World (New York: Hartcourt Brace).
