Routledge Readings on Northeastern India: Colonial Encounters,
Customary Practices, Gender, Livelihoods presents some of the
finest essays on a region that stretches across the Northeastern
Himalaya, eight Indian States and many tribal and non-tribal
peoples. With a lucid new Introduction, it covers a vast range of
issues and offers a compelling guide to understanding the
northeastern India, from colonial and missionary encounter to
contemporary security and developmental issues in South Asia. The
book covers several critical themes and unravels the complexities
fraught by the unique biogeography and socio-political history of
the region. The fifteen chapters in the volume, divided into three
sections, examine gender, community: customary law and practices,
land, agriculture, livelihoods, work, health, and education. This
multi-disciplinary volume interweaves geography and history,
culture and politics; the contested construction of identities,
communities and nationalities; the political interplay of
ethnicities and resource appropriation in a modernizing,
globalizing economy; conflicts and violence in highly-militarized
spaces. It includes engaged and insightful perspectives from major
authors who have contributed to the academic and/or policy
discourse of the subject. Routledge Readings on Northeastern India
brings together a cluster of key readings to capture important
research directions, policy suggestions, current trends, and
aspects of history and future trajectories in the humanities and
social sciences. It will serve as essential reading for students,
scholars, policymakers, practitioners and the general reader
interested in a nuanced understanding of India’s northeastern
region, and especially those in South Asian studies, Northeast
India studies, area studies, history, politics and international
relations, labour studies, conflict and peace studies, gender
studies, sociology and social anthropology. It will also appeal to
those interested in public administration, development studies,
environmental studies, law and human rights, regional literature,
cultural studies, population studies, geography, and economics.
