Ethnic Inequality in the Northeastern Indian Borderlands analyses
the relationship between symbolic violence, inequality and
ethnicity, and addresses the question of unequal integration of
small ethnic groups into state structures by using the Limbus of
the Northeastern Indian borderlands as a case study. Drawing on
Pierre Bourdieu's concept of symbolic violence, the author argues
that the ethnicization of the Limbus has been associated with the
devaluation of their cultural identity, which was itself first
constructed and naturalized by the same process of ethnicization.
The book is a pioneering work in terms of the application of
Bourdieu's sociology to Northeast India and the theoretical
interpretation of ethnic inequality in Northeast India. In
addition, the book contributes to the overall understanding of the
constant structural identity of symbolic violence and its varying
manifestations. Exploring the symbolic dimensions of power
relations within state structures, this book will be of interest to
a wide readership from various disciplines including area studies,
global studies, comparative studies, borderland studies, inequality
studies, sociology, anthropology and political science.
