Being Mizo

Identity and Belonging in Northeast India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The monograph examines issues of ethnicity and identity with specific reference to a particular ethnic group from India's Northeast, namely the Mizos. In doing so it investigates not only how the idea of the 'other' informs identity making, but also investigates, historically, how social patterns and practice contribute to the making of Mizo identity.
