Agriculture and a Changing Environment in Northeastern India

Transition in Northeastern India

Series Editor: Sumi Krishna, Independent scholar, Bangalore

The uniquely diverse landscapes, societies and cultures of northeastern India, forged through complex bio-geographic and socio-political forces, are now facing rapid transition. Yet, popular and academic perceptions tend to be limited primarily to the various conflicts in the region. This series, therefore, aims to broaden the focus to the processes and practices that have shaped, and are shaping, the peoples identities, outlook, institutions and economy. Eschewing the homogenising term North East, which was imposed on the region in a particular political context half a century ago, the series title refers to the north eastern region to more accurately reflect its heterogeneity and the varied issues confronting its diverse peoples. The series will encompass a broad rubric of themes related to culture, social relations, human and economic development, the environment, technology, governance and juridical systems.

Seeking to explore how the mainstream and the margins impact each other, the series will foreground both historical and contemporary research on the northeastern region including the Eastern Himalaya, the adjoining hills and valleys, the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. It will publish original, reflective studies that draw upon different disciplines and approaches, and combine empirical and theoretical insights. The monographs and the occasional edited volumes are intended to make scholarship accessible for a wide spectrum of general readers and to help deepen the understanding of academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
