It analyses the nature of colonial intervention in 'indigenous' societies and the politics of identity formation of Adivasis in relation to the transformation of their community system. It provides an empirically detailed and region-specific study of the ethnic version of 'ecological nationalism' and seeks to locate the concept of indigeneity in terms of values, identities and knowledge systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume also studies Adivasi survival strategies and resource utilization. From the late-nineteenth century, the recurrent famines that plagued this area as a result of the changes brought by colonial policies, deprived Adivasis of nutrient supplements, and their health declined. Adivasi medicine men took to exorcism, ascribing the causes of diseases to individuals, especially women. It also traces the history of the Kurmis who wanted to become 'Adivasis' so that they could be included amongst 'tribes'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nirmal Kumar Mahato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390022487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390022489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Nirmal Kumar Mahato","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241765482751,"sku":"9789390022489","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6480a2da-5461-45ab-b743-c2dfb2b6cce4.jpg?v=1772655813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sorrow-songs-of-woods-nirmal-kumar-mahato-9789390022489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
