Becoming Something Else: Society and Change in India's North East

This book examines the trends, perspectives and changes witnessed in the previously undocumented communities of India’s northeast, emphasising the continuity and transformations of these societies. Each chapter questions the nature of change, and highlights issues which are not a matter of choice but of conviction of the society. This volume will be informative to students and researchers in area studies programmes, anthropology, sociology, history, political science, law, public administration, and ethnology.
