The Politics of Belonging in India by Daniel J. Rycroft

Whilst the volume is India-specific, the contributors to The Politics of Belonging in India: Becoming Adivasi address wider inter-disciplinary concerns and raise issues that, we hope, will generate new and shared understandings of place.

The book is an essential read for students and scholars of Indian Sociology, Anthropology, History, Cultural Studies and Indigenous studies. 1 Indigenous pasts and the politics of belonging Daniel J. A series of short editorial essays provide theoretical clarity to issues of representation, resistance, agency, recognition and marginality. It considers the existing conceptual and historical parameters of Tribal studies, as a means of addressing new approaches to histories of de-colonization and patterns of identity-formation that have become visible since national independence.Ĭontributors address a number of important concerns, including the meaning of Indigenous studies in the context of globalised academic and political imaginaries, and the possibilities and pitfalls of constructions of indigeneity as both a foundational and a relational concept. This book responds to the growing need for an inter-disciplinary re-assessment of Tribal studies in postcolonial India and defines a new agenda for Adivasi studies.
