Environment and Ethnicity in India, 1200–1991 - Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society
Guha, Sumit (Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta)
This 1999 book reconstructs the history of forest communities in western India to explore questions relating to identity and the environment. It demonstrates how the ideology of indigenous cultures, developed out of the notion of a pure and untouched ethnicity, is rooted in racial and colonial anthropology. This penetrating critique will contribute significantly to the literature.
