About the Book

This book is a roadmap of Northeast India from colonial race theory to the economic liberalization regime, both of which demeaned the people of the region and appropriated its natural resources. The legacy of race theory survived in the post-colonial regime until the economic liberalization opened up the fused society of Northeast to a refracted society through the mechanism of market economy. This book makes an overall critique of both colonial anthropology and market economy in Northeast India. The subject being very vast, scope of this study is restricted to five chapters. The first two chapters deal with ‘colonial race theory and its application Northeast India; the third and fourth chapters deal with ‘ the basic contours of Liberalization’ and ‘Liberalization-led Market Economy in Northeast India’ and the fifth chapter makes achallenge to social policy in the Northeast India under market Economy’.
