Hardcover. Condition: New. The book interrogates the rise of ethno-nationalism in India with specific reference to Northeast India. It aims to bring interdisciplinary perspectives drawn from studies of culture, history, literature, and politics to the analysis of emerging areas of nationalism in India. It examines the ways in which literary-textual representations intervene in debates regarding ethno-nationalism, sub-nationalism, and other permutations of Indian nationalism. It examines a variety of political movements and literary works by various writers over the past five decades that have created, enshrined, and contested ideas pivotal to the rise of Indian nationalism. The book includes twelve chapters addressing contemporary issues related to ethnicity and identity. Most of the articles inquire into the causes that gave rise to ethno-nationalism in India's Northeast. Discussion on minority ethnic communities like Chakma and Koch-Rajbangshi also features in this book. Some of the articles critically examine the linguistic movements in India that are responsible for the growth of ethno-nationalistic feelings within some communities. The role of 'minority' political party and students' union in staking claim to shape the ethno-national consciousness makes an interesting read. The book will be of interest for beginners who are looking to research on ethnic-nationalism in India's Northeast.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This open access book offers an introduction to the field of the environmental humanities in India. The environmental humanities, often referred to as EH, are a multifaceted, relatively new, and swiftly evolving field of scholarship that integrates the theories and approaches of various disciplines - from anthropology, art, communications, cultural studies, philosophy and ecology to history, literature, media, music, performance, politics, sociology, theology and theater. Practitioners of this considerably integrative and widely ranging field aim to address and, in certain cases, confront today's urgent ecological and cultural challenges, namely climate change, urban sustainability, biodiversity conservation, species decline, energy policy, the exigencies of the Anthropocene, environmental activism, and Indigenous peoples' justice. Although the environmental humanities have been relatively slow to gain traction in South Asia, an increasing momentum towards transdisciplinary approaches to ecology and sustainability is palpable in India. Comprising fourteen chapters, this contributed volume is the first major publication to call attention to current work in the environmental humanities in India. The volume foregrounds particular ecohumanist theories and methodologies evolving from Indian biocultural contexts. Towards this aim, the book consists of four thematic sections: Indigenous Perspectives: Conservation, Spirituality, and Language; Theoretical Grounding: Education, Law, and Ethics; Literary Formulations: Memoir, Parable, and Storyworlds; and Popular Narratives: Myth, Travel, and Music. The volume is of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, early career scholars, and more established researchers in the environmental humanities and the allied fields of ecopoetics, ecocriticism, ecomusicology, environmental art, cultural ecology, postcolonial studies, and South Asian studies.This is an open access book.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Anglophone Literature from Northeast India and Women's Writing examines the literary works published in English that gauge the society, culture, norms and values of the region. The themes analysed fall within the larger framework of Indian literature in English, regional and cultural studies. Through this work, an attempt has been made to bring to the fore the history of Anglophone literature in Northeast India as it puts into perspective why and how English as a language became the vehicle of creative writing. It focuses on the representation of women and familial cultures, particularly the gendered enclosure of women as subalterns. These women are not only subjugated by patriarchy but are also victims of collateral damage in the conflict between the state and sub-national forces. Despite the state's provisions for constitutional safeguards for women, the rigid patriarchal customary laws and violence continue to batter and shape the lives of women in Northeast India. In recent times, with the publication of many important Anglophone and vernacular fictional works addressing the 'women question', this book shall help in contextualising the socio-political mores of the time.…
