This book examines the question of class formation and social inequality within tribal groups in North-East India.
Focussing on the Nagas, it analyses and challenges common perceptions about them as a class-less society with a uniform culture. It looks at the previously neglected themes of class formation and structure, division of work, emerging social milieus and cultural differentiation among the Naga youth – and presents fresh arguments about notions of modernity.
Providing a theoretical understanding of inequality, this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of North-East India, tribal studies, exclusion studies, sociology, social anthropology, political studies, development studies, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
Andreas Küchle is a data science professional and an independent researcher affiliated with IAAW, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where he completed his doctoral studies in social sciences.
