Reviews
"During the last years we have seen a number of new publications on Northeast India that is based on solid empirical - historical and ethnographic - research. This is a highly welcome development. With Imagined Geographies in the Indo-Tibetan Borderlands we get another great addition. The book concerns a geopolitically highly sensitive place and addresses questions of large scholarly and public interest. It will certainly attract a larger readership."
- Professor Bengt G. Karlsson, Department of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University
"This remarkable ethnography takes us deep into Monyul - as a place, a political construct, and a way of life. Gohain's rigorous, sensitive research results in a timely interpretation of how 'Himalayan' identities are produced in and beyond Arunachal Pradesh. Essential reading for students of borderland lives everywhere."
