| Zusammenfassung: | An Endangered History examines the transcultural, colonial history of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, c. 1798-1947. This little-studied borderland region lies on the crossroads of Bangladesh, India, and Burma and is inhabited by several indigenous peoples. They observe a diversity of religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, animism, and Christianity; speak Tibeto-Burmese dialects intermixed with Persian and Bengali idioms; and practise jhum or slash-and-burn agriculture. This book investigates how British administrators from the eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries used European systems of knowledge, such as botany, natural history, gender, enumerative statistics, and anthropology, to construct these indigenous communities and their landscapes. In the process, they connected the region to a dynamic, global map, and classified its peoples through the reifying language of religion, linguistics, race, and nation |

Mills's 1926 tour diary, report, and proposals An Endangered History examines the transcultural, colonial history of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, c. 1798-1947. This little-studied borderland region lies on the crossroads of Bangladesh, India, and Burma and is inhabited by several indigenous peoples. They observe a diversity of religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, animism, and Christianity; speak Tibeto-Burmese dialects intermixed with Persian and Bengali idioms; and practise jhum or slash-and-burn agriculture. This book investigates how British administrators from the eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries used European systems of knowledge, such as botany, natural history, gender, enumerative statistics, and anthropology, to construct these indigenous communities and their landscapes. In the process, they connected the region to a dynamic, global map, and classified its peoples through the reifying language of religion, linguistics, race, and nation Geschichte 1798-1947 gnd rswk-swf Indigenes Volk (DE-588)4187207-1 gnd rswk-swf Anthropologie (DE-588)4002230-4 gnd rswk-swf Ethnologie (DE-588)4078931-7 gnd rswk-swf Verwaltung (DE-588)4063317-2 gnd rswk-swf Wissensproduktion (DE-588)4660420-0 gnd rswk-swf Erforschung (DE-588)4152745-8 gnd rswk-swf Chittagong Hill Tracts (DE-588)4010001-7 gnd rswk-swf Tribes / Bangladesh / Chittagong Hill Tracts (Region) Hamilton, Francis / 1762-1829 Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh : Region) / Politics and government Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh : Region) / Religion Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh : Region) / History Politics and government Religion Tribes Bangladesh / Chittagong Hill Tracts (Region) Tribus / Bangladesh / Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh) (région) / Histoire Politique et gouvernement / Bangladesh / Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh) (région) / Histoire Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh) (région) / Religion History Chittagong Hill Tracts (DE-588)4010001-7 g Erforschung (DE-588)4152745-8 s Wissensproduktion (DE-588)4660420-0 s Geschichte 1798-1947 z DE-604 Indigenes Volk (DE-588)4187207-1 s Verwaltung (DE-588)4063317-2 s Ethnologie (DE-588)4078931-7 s Anthropologie (DE-588)4002230-4 s |
