by Anungla Zoe Longkumer
Hardback
- Information
Description
A grandmother’s tattoos, the advent of Christianity, stories woven into fabrics, a tradition of orality, the imposition of a “new†language, and a history of war and conflict—all of this and much more informs the writers and artists in this book.
Filmmaker and writer Anungla Zoe Longkumer brings together, for the first time, a remarkable set of stories, poems, first-person narratives, and visuals that showcase the breadth of Naga women’s creative and literary expression.
The essays are written in English, a language the Nagas—who had no tradition of written literature—made their own after the arrival of Christianity in the region during the nineteenth century.
In The Many That I Am, each writer speaks of the many journeys women undertake to reclaim their pasts and understand their complex present. Â
