It elucidates the queer elements in the oral narratives of four indigenous communities from East and Northeast India, which are found to be significant repositories of gender fluidity and non-normative desires. Departing from the popular understanding that 'Otherness' results largely from undue exposure to Western permissiveness, the author reveals how minority sexualities actually have their roots in aboriginal indigenous cultures and do not necessarily constitute a mimicry of the West. The volume endeavours to demystify the politics behind such vindictive propagation to sensitize the queerphobic mainstream about the essential endogenous presence of the queer in the spaces that are aboriginal. Based on extensive interdisciplinary research, this book is a first of its kind in the study of indigenous queer narratives. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of queer studies, gender studies, tribal and indigenous studies, literature, cultural studies, postcolonialism, sociology, political studies and South Asian studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Folktales, non-normativity and the queer indigeneity -- In the company of an-other : methodology, debates and concerns -- 'Wandering between two worlds' : 'mainstream' ethos, transgression and narratives of the anarcho-dissidence in Toto -- Discord as defilement : consensual incest in Limbu folktales and 'mainstreaming' of the feminine -- Stages in the proscription of homoeroticity : Lepcha folktales and mythistory -- Manly women, womanish men : genderqueer in select Rabha tales -- Queer India as neo-Bahujan : towards a possible assembling. 650 0 $a Folklore $z India. 650 0 $a Folk literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z India $x Folklore. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities in literature. 650 7 $a Folk literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00928888 650 7 $a Folklore. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930306 650 7 $a Sexual minorities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904663 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chakraborty, Kaustav. $t Queering tribal folktales from east and northeast India $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Taylor & Francis Group, 2021 $z 9781003093497 $w (DLC) 2020031488 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0984701AC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
