N2  - Provides intimate insights into the lives of hill farmers and the challenges they face in day-to-day life. Focussing on the reinterpretation of traditions, or customs, the book critiques the all too often taken for granted assumption that upland societies are characterised by cultural homogeneity and strong internal cohesion. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book focuses on a rural area in which land continues to constitute the most important resource that people have access to, and that has a substantial number of followers of traditional Garo community religion. In doing so, the book explores the creation and continuing reinterpretation of the multiple relationships through which people are connected to one another, as well as to their environment.
