Indian Tribes in Transition (eBook, PDF)

The need for reorientation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues for the need to develop a fresh approach to the study of India's tribal communities. It underlines the significance of region-specific strategies in place of an overarching umbrella scheme for studying tribes and offers a new perspective on how to accommodate the diversity and transformations within culture over time and through globalization.
