- Information
Description
This book examines the nature of ethnopolitics evolving in the Darjeeling hills, located in the Eastern Himalayas.
It highlights how in the wake of regional politics minorities pursue alternative avenues to attain rights and recognition.
The book provides an astute analysis of competing claims of culture and identity engendered both by demands for regional autonomy and struggles for scheduled tribe status.
It highlights the varied forms of ethnic demands often demonstrated through performative and discursive claims.
The volume initiates a timely discussion on the discourse of recognition, politics of difference, and alterity which has wider implications and applications to understand South Asian realities. Drawing on rich empirical research, this work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, anthropology, sociology, tribal studies, ethnography, minority studies, and South Asian studies.
