The present book examines the cultural diversities of the Northeast
region in India. The chapters cover various aspects of cultural
forms and practices of the communities. It serves as a bridge
between vanishing cultural forms and their commodification, on the
one hand, and their cultural ritual origins, evolution and
significance in identity formation, on the other. The book analyses
the continuity of cultural forms, their plural embodied
representations associated with people's belief systems and their
reinventions under globalisation. Further, the book underlines
historical forces such as colonialism and religious conversion that
transformed socio-cultural practices. Yet some of the pre-colonial,
ritual-performative traditions hold on. Theoretically rich in
analysis, this book presents a balanced view of the region's
historical, ethnic-folk and socio-cultural aspects. The book is
invaluable to students and researchers in cultural studies,
anthropology, folklore, history and literature. It is also helpful
for those critical readers engaged in research and interested in
Northeast cultural forms and practices.
