Product Description
From presenting in Elwins own words the account of his going to work among the tribal peoples of central India to affording glimpses of his seminal work on the unique institution of the ghotul among the Murias of Bastar or relating Elwins attempts at understanding the high incidence of murder and suicide among the Bisonhorn Marias of Bastar The Oxford India Elwin looks beyond the general and the oftrepeated to include within its covers the many fascinating discoveries that Verrier Elwin made while working among the different tribal communities in India. While the Introduction to Folk Songs of the Maikal Hills discusses the principles of translating folk poetry the importance of the elements of nature magic the supernatural and song and dance in tribal life is highlighted through selections from The Myths of Middle India. Whether providing glimpses of Elwins travels in the remote Northeast or discussing the effects of civilization on tribal art or describing the Naga people and their customs or presenting the myths of the NEFA region the effort is to bring the man his thoughts and actions the contributions he made towards upholding and preserving the cultural diversity of the Subcontinent closer to readers through a single volume which will be both accessible and affordable. The book will be a valuable addition to the Oxford India Collection which includes the writings of Ghalib Premchand Ramanujan Nehru and Gandhi. Armed with a useful and perceptive Introduction by G.N. Devy this edition will appeal to all those who know and adore Elwin as also students and researchers of anthropology cultural studies and Indian history.
