This book brings together essays on North East India from across
disciplines to explore new understandings of the colonial and
contemporary realities of the region. Departing from the usual
focus on identity and politics, it offers fresh representations
from history, social anthropology, culture, literature, politics,
performance and gender. Through the lens of modern practices, the
essays in this volume engage with diverse issues, including
state-making practices, knowledge production and its politics,
history writing, colonialism, role of capital, institutions,
changing locations of orality and modernity, production and
reception of texts, performances and literatures, social change and
memory, violence and gender relations, along with their wider
historical, geographical and ideational mappings. In the process,
they illustrate how the specificities of the region can become
useful sites to interrogate global phenomena and processes - for
instance, in what ways ideas and practices of modernity played an
important role in framing the region and its people. Further, the
volume underlines the complex ways in which the past came to be
imagined, produced and contested in the region. With its blend of
inter-disciplinary approach, analytical models and perspectives,
this book will be useful to scholars, researchers and general
readers interested in North East India and those working on
history, frontiers and borderlands, gender, cultural studies and
literature.
