Progress and Its Impact on the Nagas (eBook, PDF)

A Clash of Worldviews

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book details how the interaction between the Nagas and the West, beginning with how the British military conquest, followed by American missionary intrusion of Naga soil, has resulted in the gradual demise of Naga culture. Consequences are still being felt in the lack of sense of direction and confusion among Nagas today. As other indigenous peoples whose recent history is characterized by the traumatic cultural disruption caused by colonial interference, the Nagas have long engaged in self-shame, self-negation and self-sabotage.
