Item description from seller

Quarto, 464 pages, cloth; short tears on dj "It is this self-image of the Nagas today that is the pivotal point to all of the topics addressed in the present book. . The polyphony of the voices and instruments is the expression of numerous identities through which the self-image of the Nagaz flows into ever new forms." - Preface. Bluntly, it is all here, at least up until 2000 C.E. or so. Illustrated. The first results of the project. "Material Culture, Oral Traditions and Identity among the Naga of Northeast India" are presented here. Feared as headhunters and shunned by the inhabitants of the plains the Nagas developed a unique material culture and oral tradition.

Store description

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera. …
