| The vast
socio-economic and cultural diversity of the north-east region of India
remains a largely unexplored area of academic research. Within it, the status
of women continues to be a neglected aspect. This book contributes to the
slowly expanding body of literature on the subject of the status of women in
the seven North-Eastern States of India, viz. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. The author makes a
painstaking effort to put together the economic, social, educational and
cultural dimensions of the plight of women in these States, in the uniquely
individual ecological, historical, social and political backdrop of the
region. In the process she uncovers many aspects hitherto unknown to us, and
also demolishes certain standard and pre-conceived notions about
North-Eastern women. We learn about the distinctive features of each State,
individually, in relation to each other, and the country as a whole. Using
primary and secondary sources, the author builds up a useful wealth of
statistical information about the subject; the book also contains explanatory
maps and charts. In all, it is a useful text not just for scholars of the
North-East and Gender Studies, but also for the general readers as well. |
