Becoming a Borderland

The Politics of Space and Identity in Colonial Northeastern India

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the politics of space and identity in the borderlands of northeastern India between the early 1800s and the 1930s. Critiquing contemporary post-colonial histories where this region emerges as fragments, this book sees these perspectives as continuing to be entrapped in a civilizational approach to history-writing.
