The paper examines the ways in which the colonial state and its tribal subjects attempted to reshape tradition and social practices and to redefine community identity in the late 19th and early 20th century with reference to adivasi movements in the context of the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act of 1908. It argues that resistance could be understood in terms of compromise and negotiation rather than only as open rebellion.

The paper examines the ways in which the colonial state and its tribal subjects attempted to reshape tradition and social practices and to redefine community identity in the late 19th and early 20th century with reference to adivasi movements in the context of the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act of 1908. It argues that resistance could be understood in terms of compromise and negotiation rather than only as open rebellion.File allegati a questo prodotto
