This book considers three questions about understanding the past.
How can we rethink human histories by including animals and plants?
How can we overcome nationally territorialised narratives? And how
can we balance academic history-writing and indigenous
understandings of history? This is a tentative foray into the
connections between these questions. Entangled Lives explore them
for a large area that has seldom been explored in academic inquiry.
The 'Eastern Himalayan Triangle' includes both uplands and
lowlands. The region is the meeting point of three global
biodiversity hotspots connecting India and China across
Myanmar/Burma, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The 'Triangle' is treated as
a multispecies site in which human histories have always been
utterly intertwined with plant and animal histories. It foregrounds
that history is co-created - it is always interspecies history -
but that its contours are locally specific.
