Routledge - The Cultural Heritage of Meghalaya - Anthropology Book

Explore the deep socio-cultural history of Meghalaya through this comprehensive volume from Routledge. This book provides a detailed look at the state's heritage, tracing its origins from prehistoric Stone Age times to the modern era. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the diverse communities that inhabit the region. While the state is primarily known for the matrilineal Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes, this work expands the narrative to include lesser-known groups such as the Hajong, Sakachep, Biate, Koch, Dalu, Margnar, and the Nepali. By giving a voice to these various communities, the text offers a complete picture of the local social fabric. Designed for students and researchers in anthropology and sociology, the 38 chapters focus on the documentation and maintenance of Meghalaya's heritage. This book is an essential addition for anyone interested in the social sciences and the historical evolution of Northeast India's unique tribal cultures.
