Content:
This book examines the question of class formation and social inequality within tribal groups in North-East India. Focussing on the Nagas, it analyses and challenges common perceptions about them as a class-less society with a uniform culture. It looks at the previously neglected themes of class formation and structure, division of work, emerging social milieus and cultural differentiation among the Naga youth - and presents fresh arguments about notions of modernity. Providing a theoretical understanding of inequality, this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of North-East India, tribal studies, exclusion studies, sociology, social anthropology, political studies, development studies, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
Note:
Class and social inequality in a multi-dimensional perspective -- Socio-cultures : from the Naga village to peripheral capitalism -- Patterns of cultural differentiation -- Class structure and class reproduction -- Career patterns -- Differentiation of culture and class in Nagaland -- Bibliography.
