In the Shadows of Naga Insurgency is a fine-grained critique of the
Naga struggle for political redemption, the state's response to it,
and the social corollaries and carry-overs of protracted political
conflict on everyday life. Offering an ethnographic underview,
Jelle Wouters illustrates an 'insurgency complex' that reveals how
embodied experiences of resistance and state aggression, violence
and volatility, and struggle and suffering link together to shape
social norms, animate local agitations, and complicate
inter-personal and inter-tribal relations in expected and
unexpected ways. The book locates the historical experiences and
agency of the Naga people and relates these to ordinary villagers'
perceptions, actions, and moral reasoning vis-a-vis both the Naga
Movement and the state and its lucrative resources. It thus presses
us to rethink our views on tribalism, conflict and ceasefire,
development, corruption, and democratic politics.
