This volume gives an in-depth account of cultural heritage of
Nagaland covering important themes like cultural beliefs,
traditional knowledge, material culture, and social institutions.
Contributors from diverse dis ciplines and backgrounds have delved
into the cultural heritage of the state's variegated tribes.
Nagaland a hilly state in North-East India had been the centre of
British colonialism and American Baptist mission. This cultural
contact is significantly reflected in the socio-cultural life, and
the contributors have shed light on the continuities and changes.
This volume highlights the multiplicity of cultural traditions that
are specific to various tribes inhabiting sixteen districts of
Nagaland, since their experiences of modernity and cultural contact
with 'others' have been diverse. The contributors have mainly
focussed on the cultural heritage of the majority Naga tribes, but
other tribes like the Kukis and Kacharis are part and parcel of the
cultural melting pot of Nagaland, and this volume in a way
underscores the cultural exchange and interactions. Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the print version of this book

Sikkim has been a region of anthropological interest since the
1930s when Geoffrey Gorer and John Morris did their fieldwork among
the Lepchas of Dzongu, north Sikkim. While it was mentioned in
various writings of travellers and administrators during the
British period, there is a dearth of literature even today on the
rich heritage of Sikkim. This collection of twenty-five essays
presented first at the international conference on Cultural
Heritage of Sikkim, organized by the Depart ment of Anthropology,
Sikkim University, Gangtok goes a long way in breaching this gap.
The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of
Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies and will lead to new
research on the people and the places of Sikkim and India's
North-East. Please note: This title is co-published with Manohar

The state of Meghalaya, formed on 21 January 1972, is a state of
fascinating socio-cultural significance. Its heritage can be traced
from the prehistoric times of Stone Age up to the present. Though
comprising mainly of the matrilineal Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia
tribes - the state also houses many other lesser known communities
such as the Hajong,Sakachep, Biate, Koch, Dalu, Margnar and the
Nepali. All these communities find voice in this volume. This book
looks at the state of Meghalaya exhaustively from the perspective
of heritage documentation and maintenance. The 38 chapters written
by anthropologists and independent researchers, present the rich
traditions found in the region. This volume will be of great help
to academicians, researchers, students, and laymen interested in a
comprehensive study of the region. Please note: This title is
co-published with Manohar Publishers, New Delhi. Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in South Asia.
