Papers included in the volume are selected from papers presented in the seminar entitled Dynamics of Tribal Villages in Arunachal Pradesh: Emerging Realities; a few papers were invited later on. These papers have focused on one or the other aspects of village life in tribal villages of Arunachal Pradesh and obviously have made a departure from earlier studies on Indian Villages as peasant communities in which villages were studied with a view to understand the ‘nature’ of the villages and dimensions of Indian civilization. Such studies were comprehensive explorations for an understanding of village communities as ‘isolates’ or ‘part societies’. But the essence of the present volume lies in focusing attention on the nature of various aspects of village life, which independently reflects upon an integrative appreciation. Whether any aspect of life in tribal villages has intra-or inter-village functional significance, the characteristic feature that it displays is ’embeddedness’. A phenomenon like labour exchange, for example, does not exist in economic sphere of the activities; it rather embodies characteristics of cultural and social realities. Broadly, the strength of this volume emanates from the study of 20 villages of 12 tribes in the state mostly by scholars belonging to the village and the tribe itself. Undoubtedly, emphasizing on emic perceptions of the transition realities, it has made a radical departure. Therefore, the volume will add a new dimension to village studies academically and to the understanding of development practitioners who are interested in rural development in this era of globalisation.
