Based on fieldwork, participant observation, oral traditions, archival materials and\u003cbr\u003e long-term historical and anthropological research by a range of scholars negotiating this region and its people, this volume examines the less visible and often misrecognized highlands of Odisha, thus questioning dominant coast-centric views and acknowledging a mutlitude of perspectives on Odisha beyond simplified dichotomies. The nine essays herein cover themes such as social structures and patterns of kinship and relatedness; concepts of food, music or death and their significance to wider cosmologies; interdependencies among highland communities and the posititon of migrant farmers between caste and Adivasi society; and processes of resistance and ideas around Nehruvian industrialization projects set up in the supposed 'wilderness'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Uwe Skoda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9384092339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789384092337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Uwe Skoda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241753391359,"sku":"9789384092337","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13fc18f3-aa0b-446e-a29a-73deded67978.jpg?v=1772655771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/highland-odisha-uwe-skoda-9789384092337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
