Troubled Diversity

The Political Process in Northeast India

Herausgeber: Goswami, Sandhya

Beschreibung

This work looks at the politics of diversity and identity in the Northeast. The concept of 'diversity' can be used as a unifying mechanism in the post-colonial nation-state through which identities can get homogenized; ethnic identities and cultures can be manipulated for political or economic advantage; and ethnic violence can have disastrous consequences like extortion, rape, abduction, death, and violation of human rights.
