The book provides an overview of these issues as they are reflected in the region, and covers the period from the conclusion of the Assam Movement till the present.
The Assam Movement spawned a culture of violence which led to the emergence of insurgent outfits in the state. This resulted in the naturalization of violence as a part of everyday living. From this vantage point, the book offers a reading of identity as determined by the anxiety surrounding the presence of the migrants. In this book, the issue of migration is seen through the perspective of the society that receives the migrants and defines itself through a negative response to the other.  aEthnic groups and identity in Assam, India.  aImmigrants -- India -- Assam.
