Although sharing many social and cultural traits, the thousands of small Naga villages often vary greatly from one another, and the Nagas display both unity and diversity in their dress and ornament. Their vibrant material culture is generously illustrated here in color photographs that display textiles, basketry, jewelry, weapons, metalwork, and carvings. Drawing on a diverse range of historical materials, the authors examine how the notion of tribes came to be applied to the Nagas and point out its subsequent importance in the development of contemporary Naga nationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51887490269472,"sku":"NEW0500973881","price":107.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/810-C4fLosL.jpg?v=1781901888","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-nagas-hill-peoples-of-northeast-india-society-culture-and-the-colonial-encounter-0500973881","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
