Geographies of Difference

The book highlights key issues of identity, politics, gender and religion in Northeast India. The essays examine a range of themes: theoretical debates, ethnography, economy, ecology, diversity, art, media and fashion. It also explores the nature of Indian federalism through centre-state relations and politics of contestations over homeland.

This book rethinks Northeast India as a lived space, a centre of interconnections and unfolding histories, instead of an isolated periphery. Questioning dominant tropes and assumptions around the Northeast, it examines socio-political and historical processes, border issues, the role of the state, displacement and development, debates over natural resources, violence, notions of body and belonging, movements, tensions and relations, and strategies, struggles and narratives that frame discussions on the region.

Drawing on current and emerging research in Northeast India studies, this work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, human geography, sociology and social anthropology, history, cultural studies, media studies and South Asian studies.
