‘In this volume, Tanka B. Subha has gathered a splendid collection of articles that cover the full range of anthropology, as it has been conducted for a century and a half in North-East India. We find penetrating essays on colonial anthropology as well surveys on the most modern work in prehistory, physical anthropology, and social-cultural anthropology. This is the book to turn to for the most inclusive and up-to-date surveys of North-East Indian anthropology as it has been, and is being, practised by experts in its many specialties.’
Robbins Burling, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics, Michigan University, USA
‘This handbook, containing nineteen chapters on prehistory, colonial ethnography, physical anthropology and social-cultural anthropology of North-East India, will prove to be a valuable resource not only for teachers and students of anthropology but also for those engaged in sociology, history, geography, and economics of the region. I strongly recommend it to all master’s and doctoral students in and from the region.’
A.C. Bhagabati, Professor (Retd.) of Anthropology & Former Vice-Chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi University, Arunachal Pradesh
