Northeast Indian Writing in English and Cultural Expressions

Northeast Indian Writing in English and Cultural Expressions is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that examines literature, cinema, performance, and visual culture from Northeast India. It brings attention to voices and narratives from a region that has often been overlooked in mainstream academic discussions, while showcasing its rich cultural diversity and evolving artistic expressions. The volume is organised into two sections. The first explores broader issues of representation, identity, and narrative agency in Northeast Indian literature and cinema. The second section concentrates on Manipur, offering critical insights into its linguistic, literary, and cultural traditions. By engaging with both English-language texts and indigenous cultural forms, the collection highlights the dynamic relationship between language, identity, and modes of expression in the region. Through its interdisciplinary approach, the book provides a nuanced understanding of Northeast India's socio-cultural landscape. This work will be valuable for scholars, students, and general readers interested in literary studies, cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and Northeast Indian studies.
