This volume explores the rich pre-history, history, and oral history of the North East region of India –– a land-locked region that is home to over 350 ethnolinguistic communities.
"The book portrays the annals of the Northeast region’s prehistory, history, and oral history using a transdisciplinary approach. It is a well-researched book with in-depth analysis, and its easy flow of facts makes the book of reader’s interest. The editor deserves all appreciation for bringing the different shades of nuanced histories of the most important constituencies of the Northeast region in fifteen chapters. A vital, necessary, and appealing book that presents an interesting account of a geographically strategic and culturally enriching region in a most simple format."
Professor Sanjai Bhatt, Department of Social Work, University of Delhi, India; Immediate Past President, National Association of Professional Social Workers in India; Immediate Past President, (South Asia) International Council on Social Welfare; Alliance Ambassador, GSSWA
"The interdisciplinary approach of this book to the study of Northeast India has done justice to the complex ethnographic, geographic, historical, and sociocultural mosaic of this region. Anyone interested in developing a deep understanding of the region and its people must read this book."
