This volume traces the theme of the loss of language and culture in
numerous post-colonial contexts. It establishes that the aphasia
imposed on the indigenous is but a visible symptom of a deeper
malaise - the mismatch between the symbiotic relation nurtured by
the indigenous with their environment and the idea of development
put before them as their future. The essays here show how the
cultures and the imaginative expressions of indigenous communities
all over the world are undergoing a phase of rapid depletion. They
unravel the indifference of market forces to diversity and that of
the states, unwilling to protect and safeguard these marginalized
communities. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers
of cultural and literary studies, linguistics, sociology and social
anthropology, as well as tribal and indigenous studies.
