This book is a comprehensive study on India's North East where
violence, development and natural disasters that lead to eviction
and displacement of `citizens` within a country produce more
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) than refugees. Dwelling upon
this debate, the book discusses the two major sources of
displacement, conflict and development, and presents a compendium
of case studies drawn from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and
Tripura-the four worst-affected states of the region. The
Introduction to the book highlights the silenced aspects of
displacement, drawing upon the implications of the case studies
presented and bringing them to the centre of any future theoretical
enquiry into the society and politics of the region. Blisters on
their Feet: Tales of Internally Displaced Persons in India's North
East provides contrasting perspectives on what is often considered
a simple answer to displacement, and views the phenomenon as a
logical culmination of a package of policies initiated and
undertaken in the region, particularly in the age of globalization.
The case studies display rare insight, human rights sensitivity and
commitment, sans any theoretical pretensions. The book serves as a
useful key in placing the North East in the newly emergent
discourse on displacement and brings it to the forefront of the
public agenda. It offers important insights for policy makers and
analysts, research scholars, human rights activists, lawyers,
developmental specialists, students and socially concerned
citizens.
