Naga Land: Voices from Northeast India - Paperback

by Stiftung Humboldt Forum (Editor)

The Naga form a minority in Northeast
India and the northwest of Myanmar -- and consist at the same time of
thirty different ethnicities: three to four million people, with
numerous languages. How do they manage to preserve their traditional
history and integrate into altered ways of life? How do fit that
together with modern tattoos, fashion, and social media? What role does
Christianity play? Authors among others from Naga Land describe various
facets of their contemporary and current culture and make the Naga
collection of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin appear in a new light,
supplemented with contemporary objects. The artist Zubeni Lotha shows
the life of the Naga today in impressive photographs.

• Current topics such as fashion, tattoos, and social media in the life practice of the Naga, a minority in Northeast India
