Seller's Description:
Very Good+ No Jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 377; Preface, appendixes, notes, bibliography, index, lists of 33 photos and 4 maps/3 diagrams. "Assam belongs to India culturally as well as geographically, for its Brahamaputra Valley had allowed people and their customs to penetrate into Assam from the rest of the country. Today the valley is occupied by people who are still, by comparison with the people in the hills around them, very much part of the general Indian civilization. The Garos, one of the largest hill tribes of Assam, undoubtedly represent the remnants of an earlier population and culture, which may even have covered much of the plains region before the immigration of the distinctive Indian civilization now found in that region. The greatest part of Dr. Burling's work with the Garos was carried on in the village of Rengsanggri. " Previous owner stamp on ffep.
