The book delves into the identity formation of the Nagas in northeast India, influenced by American proselytizing and British colonization aimed at controlling fertile lands for tea plantations. It examines the westernization of Naga culture and its impact on the Naga Nationalist movement, contributing to the development of a modern Naga identity. By focusing on this unique indigenous group, the author provides valuable insights into the broader processes and enduring negative effects of colonization in India, especially regarding the preservation of traditional beliefs and customs.
