This book is a history of the narratives written in Assamese language and its relation to the process of region formation. The literature dealt with ranges from pre-colonial chronicles, ballads and drama to modern genres of fiction and critical writing in Assamese language. Taking the Brahmaputra valley and Assamese literature as case studies, the author attempts to link literature, its nature and use, to processes of region formation, arguing that such a study needs to take the context of historical geography into consideration. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book views region formation in north-east India as a dialectical process, that is, the dialectic between the shared and the distinct in inter-group and community relations. It borrows an anthropological approach to study written narratives and cultures so as to locate such narratives in specific processes of region formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manjeet Baruah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138662380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138662384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Manjeet Baruah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484297670911,"sku":"9781138662384","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dabbd7d6-2d48-4a22-acf7-e56510dc11d0.jpg?v=1778043423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frontier-cultures-manjeet-baruah-9781138662384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
