Entangled Lives : Human-Animal-Plant Histories of the Eastern Himalayan Triangle Hardback
by Joy L. K. (Jawaharlal Nehru University, India) Pachuau, Willem van (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands) Schendel
Hardback
Description
This book considers three questions about understanding the past.
How can we rethink human histories by including animals and plants?
How can we overcome nationally territorialised narratives? And how can we balance academic history-writing and indigenous understandings of history?
This is a tentative foray into the connections between these questions.
Entangled Lives explore them for a large area that has seldom been explored in academic inquiry.
The 'Eastern Himalayan Triangle' includes both uplands and lowlands.
The region is the meeting point of three global biodiversity hotspots connecting India and China across Myanmar/Burma, Bangladesh and Bhutan.
The 'Triangle' is treated as a multispecies site in which human histories have always been utterly intertwined with plant and animal histories.
It foregrounds that history is co-created - it is always interspecies history - but that its contours are locally specific.
