Description

Explore a pioneering anthropological study of the Sundarbans mangrove islands in the Bengal delta, home to the Royal Bengal tiger and a unique ecosystem that shaped local society. This acclaimed work examines the profound question of what tigers mean to the islanders themselves, revealing how 'the tiger question' functions as a social marker that transcends traditional boundaries of caste, tribe and religion. Through detailed ethnographic research, the author uncovers how the diverse origins and current occupations of the local population produce varied answers to this central question, whilst demonstrating that tiger relations form a more significant identity marker than conventional social categories. The book provides essential insights into the intersection of human and animal life in one of the world's most distinctive environments, offering readers a fresh perspective on environmental anthropology and the cultural significance of wildlife in island communities.
