{"product_id":"darjeeling-dinesh-chandra-ray-9781032424453","title":"Darjeeling: In Search of People's History of the Hills","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistory has always dealt with people, yet often gazing at the people from the perspectives of the non-people - colonizers, intruders, outsiders and the privileged elite insiders - who seem to have internalized the 'mainstream' perspective framed by the outsiders. In this context a group of scholars working on Darjeeling felt that there was a need for an inclusive people's history of the Darjeeling hills.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present volume tries to fill this gap of the missing voices of the people of the Darjeeling hills and their cultures through re-writing inclusive history of society and culture from 'below', not only by de­coding the elements that are treated as tradition, but also the trans­formations in the realms of arts and ecology. For, the tribal-scape of the Darjeeling hills is not a static\/frozen zone and the people (hence, the geo-space) are in continuous transition from traditional beings towards becoming neo-traditional. Accepting history as constantly 'extra mural' the objectives of the book are to focus on un­documented histories related to harmony, intimacy, belongingness and environ­mental care and thereby, interact the living with what is often projected as 'dead', by rejecting to abide by any given set of references as the final\/'scientific'\/authentic and, thereby, opening up with other kinds of historical dialogue with the understated historical items that are accessible in Darjeeling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis does not sell or distribute the print version of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dinesh Chandra Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032424451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032424453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Dinesh Chandra Ray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079780200703,"sku":"9781032424453","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ec905c8-de17-4f1e-94e8-3c4e90f27d07.jpg?v=1685483097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darjeeling-dinesh-chandra-ray-9781032424453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
