Description

Explore the complex relationship between humans and nature in the Sundarbans with this pioneering anthropological work from Routledge. Set within the unique mangrove islands of the Bengal delta, this book examines the lives of local populations living alongside the Royal Bengal tigers. The author investigates how the presence of tigers serves as a significant social marker for the islanders. By looking at the diverse origins and various occupations of the local community, the text reveals how people use the tiger question to define their social location. This study goes beyond traditional markers like caste, tribe, or religion to provide a deep look into how environment and politics shape human identity. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the social sciences, anthropology, and the environmental dynamics of the Bengal delta. It offers a unique perspective on how a specific ecosystem influences the social fabric of the people who inhabit it.
