Autorenporträt
Phejin Konyak is the great-granddaughter of tattooed headhunter Ahon, who was a prominent member of the Konyak tribe. He was the interpreter for J.H Hutton, the first ethnographer to venture into the Naga Hills, whose book Diary of Two Tours in the Unadministered Area East of the Naga Hills, was published in 1926. Phejin lives in Shiyong village, Mon District, Nagaland, India. In between running her farm and writing, she travels to remote villages to continue her work documenting tattoo patterns and spending time with tribal elders. Peter Bos is a professional portrait photographer who has traveled the world to record unique - often disappearing - cultures. William Dalrymple is a well-known historian, journalist, and author of eight books, including several on India.
