Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis and critical examination of the representation of ethnic, sexual, cultural, and individual identities in selected literary works by contemporary writers from Northeast India. The book explores the complex dynamics of identity construction, sexuality, marginalisation, ethnicity, and belonging in the context of Meghalaya and Northeast India as a whole. The author analyses poetry and prose by Janice Pariat, Anjum Hasan, Kynpham Singh Nongkynrih, and other Khasi writers. These works candidly portray the turmoil afflicting contemporary Meghalaya – from insurgency and ethnic tensions to ecological threats and loss of roots as well as reconciliation, integration, and mutual understanding. Using postmodern and postcolonial literary strategies, the book depicts fluid, heterogeneous, and multifaceted notions of identity in Northeast India. An exploration of ethnicity, belonging, and unbelonging in the Northeastern context, this book presents marginalised voices and liminal spaces. It will be of interest to academics focusing on Indian English literature, postcolonial literature, and South Asian Studies.

Book Synopsis Revisiting Social Theory by : D.V. Kumar
Download or read book Revisiting Social Theory written by D.V. Kumar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revisits social theory with a view to highlighting certain essential features of ‘good’ social theory: its ability to raise certain questions, its explanatory power, its critical and reflexive interrogation of concepts, its search for objectivity, its concern to make sense of empirical data and its aim of projecting some degree of generality and abstraction. With particular attention to issues of nationalism, democracy, civil society, state, feminism, neoliberalism, minority rights, environment and North-East Indian society, it considers whether new and more relevant theoretical questions need to be asked. It will therefore appeal to scholars of social theory and political sociology with interests in new approaches to social theory and the development of local or ‘indigenous’ social thought.
Book Synopsis Dimensions of Social Exclusion by : Eswarappa Kasi
Download or read book Dimensions of Social Exclusion written by Eswarappa Kasi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dimensions of Social Exclusion focuses largely on social exclusion in the context of communities and social groups who have or have not been considered in discussing the benefits of mainstream inclusive society or development. Contemporary understanding of social exclusion has revived great interest among academics, researchers and policy makers in understanding problems from the perspectives of social exclusion. The decision to adopt the perspective of social exclusion has not been universal; rather the nature of this is very heterogeneous. In addition, the concept of social exclusion is not static; in reality, it is a process. The process is seen in the marginalization and discrimination of people in their everyday lives and interactions. The term ‘exclusion’ has become a part of the vocabulary in Europe and other developing societies like ‘poverty’ or ‘unemployment’; it is one of those words which seem to have both an everyday meaning and an underlying sense. It emphasizes the social aspects of concerns such as housing, health, employment, education, participation in social activities and festivities, social interaction and social intercourse. It excludes certain communities and groups from interaction and access to social resources through social arrangements, normative value systems and customs. Exclusion based on caste is one example and patriarchy is another, which is a form of systemic or constitutive exclusion. Having social, cultural, political and economic ramifications, it is also a complex and multi-dimensional concept. These dimensions are interwoven and are addressed in the different papers of the volume. This book revolves around the societal interventions and institutions that exclude, discriminate, isolate and deprive some groups on the basis of group identities such as caste or ethnicity. It covers a wide spectrum of societies and communities living in various cultural environments. The multidisciplinary nature of the book will render it helpful to students and researchers of sociology, anthropology, historical and political studies, demography, social work and gender studies in particular and the humanities in general.

Book Synopsis IMBIBING TRADITIONAL VALUES FOR PEACE IN THE CONTEMPORARY KHASI SOCIETY…. by : Banpyrkhat Nongrang
Download or read book IMBIBING TRADITIONAL VALUES FOR PEACE IN THE CONTEMPORARY KHASI SOCIETY…. written by Banpyrkhat Nongrang and published by Booksclinic Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several traditional values for peace in the Khasi Contemporary society similar to what Bareh has discussed in his book The History and Culture of the Khasi People. These traditional values include knowing God knowing man, earning righteousness, knowing maternal and paternal kinship. In addition to that, politeness count, living a simple life, justice, truth, respect, discipline, hard work, and sanctity of marriage, forgiveness, cooperation, community spirit, hospitality, honesty and the spirit of compromise. These traditional values for peace were found to be practiced among Khasi community in the realm of social, economic, political, religious, and ecological aspect. The Khasi traditional values are still relevant in the so-called modern Society. Therefore, there is a need to imbibe those values in order to contribute to peace in the society. Imbibing the traditional values in the present context is very much needed because as we see in today’s world there are a lot of discriminations, corruption, injustice and lack of respect to one another which is domineering the world. This is a cry of every human being and cosmos that, peace is the need of the hour. Individuals, scholars, various groups, institution and so on, have initiated the thought that the concept of peace is not extinct and should not be push to the periphery but it should be used to overcome this 21st century culture and lifestyle.

This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People from India’s Northeast have crafted distinct as well as diverse cultural cryptograms, discernments and personality which is frequently at loggerheads with the power politics from outside the region. Thus, attention is often on the societies of the Northeast India as they putter with transforming institutions and more intensive resource consumption in the wake of modernization and development activities. This volume is an examination into questions of who exercises control, who constructs knowledge/ideas about the region and how far such discourses are people-centric. It inspects how India’s Northeast have been understood in colonial and post-colonial contexts through the contributions from research scholars and faculties from different academic spaces. These contributions are both from within the region as well as from neighbourhood. Thus, presenting a cross-dimensional gaze on social, political, economic as well as issues related to space-relation.
