Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ethnic Lifeworlds in NorthEast India: An Analysis draws upon the phenomenological notion of the lifeworld to understand the culturallyembedded construction of communities, for whom the lived experience of cultural politics constitutes their identity. It analyses the cultural and political determinants of ethnic and identityoriented struggles in India's NorthEast, as well as the cultural politics of ethnic mobilizations in the region.Such mobilizations are an attempt to construct a selfidentity distinct from that constructed by the stateboth colonial and postcolonial Indiawhich becomes a source of concern for the latter with regard to its achieving legitimacy and development in the region. While both the state and insurgent groups carve out their distinct ideological and political agenda on to the lifeworld of the NorthEast, it is at the point of diversion that the struggle for establishing such agenda falls into the trappings of constitutional determinism.This book analyses the articulation of ethnic politics in NorthEast India that takes into account moves for integration as well as apparent differences. In doing so, it critically examines two major insurgent outfits of the regionNSCN and ULFA. It also discusses struggles launched by the Naga and Assamese people and develops a neologism of nationsfrombelow, arguing that one needs to take into account the concrete totality of the people's lived experiences. It bases this analysis on a critical discussion of the colonial construction of tribal identity and its postcolonial critique.Thoughtprovoking and analytical, this book opens a new window to the study of India's NorthEast, which will intrigue students and scholars across various disciplines of development studies, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, political science and ethnic studies, and will be of interest to policymakers, NGOs and global humanitarian communities.
