About the Book
This volume offers a fresh perspective on Odisha by focusing on the highlands in the west and south, inverting the “othering” approach common in many studies. Comprising nine insightful essays, it examines social structures, kinship patterns, and relatedness, alongside cultural dimensions such as food, music, and death within broader cosmologies.
The book also explores interdependencies among highland communities, the role of migrant farmers navigating caste and Adivasi society, and processes of resistance to Nehruvian industrialization projects in these regions. A valuable resource for scholars of history, anthropology, and South Asian studies, this work sheds light on Odisha’s complex social and cultural landscapes.
