The book is a very detailed work on the relationship between
movements for autonomy by indigenous peoples (the so-called
'tribes') and violence in Assam, in northeast India. The book
addresses some of the reasons for the failure of ethnic conflict
management and for the frequent emergence of violence in the
region. In particular, the historical description of movements by
the Dimasas, Misings and Bodos is well compiled and provides a good
summary for the readers. At the same time, the work offers a good
understanding of ethnic violence in contemporary India. The volume
offers some new research data based on comparative analysis of
different trajectories followed by three important movements among
Assam's ethnic minorities. While the pieces of the argument are
based on the existing literature on ethnic violence and contentious
politics, they are effectively connected to materials drawn from
northeast India. Furthermore, the book raises significant concerns
on the debates on crafting of decentralised institutions and
executive opportunities that may facilitate ethnic accommodation
thereby reducing the likelihood of such groups to pursue their
goals through channels that are radical or extreme.
