Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the transfer of a specific interpretation of Christianity from white settler culture in the United States to the Naga people of northeastern India. It examines how this religious influence shaped the Nagas' political identity during the 20th century, highlighting the complex interplay between culture, faith, and politics in a colonial context. Through this lens, the narrative reveals the profound effects of missionary work and cultural exchange on the Nagas' social and political landscape.
