Présentation Naga Identities - Changing Local Cultures In The Northeast Of India de Oppitz Michael Format Relié
- Livre Ethnologie
Résumé :
The Naga tribes inhabit the south-eastern foothills of the Himalayas - the border region between India and Burma. Feared as headhunters and shunned by the inhabitants of the plains the Nagas developed a unique material culture and oral tradition. By around the mid 19th century, however, British colonial rule and Baptist missionary activities brought far-reaching changes to Naga culture. After 1947i the Naga Hills were forcibly integrated into the newly formed Indian Union. The result was a bloodywar that raged for more than fifty years - largely unnoticed by the public eye. Only recently the region has been reopened to foreign visitors. The present volume assembles essays byNaga and Western authors, interviews and pictorial contributions dealing with the cultural history and changing identity of the former headhunters.
