About this book

Focusing on the Oraon and Tana Bhagat communities of Chhotanagpur, now in Jharkhand, this book tells their story. It challenges postcolonial readings of 'tribe' as a category, and works through how the adivasi world is layered by hierarchy.

The author examines colonial ethnography, missionary narratives and anthropological writing, and looks at questions of adivasi identity and resistance. The catalogue notes that the book also shows how contemporary adivasi protest draws on memories of the past.

Scholars of anthropology, South Asian history and tribal studies, and general readers interested in adivasi politics, will find the study useful.
