About the Book

In Northeast India, food plays many roles. From being a “tool for unification” to an “object of taboo”,

almost every food item and cuisine here have a story behind them. A reflection of the region’s

tremendous socio-cultural diversity, the varied cuisines here are also testimony to the inherent unity

among the people.

A first-of-its-kind anthology, Food Trail: Discovering the Food Culture of Northeast India offers

a peek into the life and culture of the people here through the prism of their food. Containing

perspectives on subjects as varied as anthropology, sociology and literature, this book translates as

a comprehensive database for those seeking to know about the social and symbolic role of food in

Northeast India. Besides featuring narratives by some of the most respected voices of the region, the

high quality aesthetic photographs provides for a visual delight.

The best part of the book is that it is an insider’s perspective about their own life and culture. Not

conceived as an academic or scholarly collection, it is an honest attempt of people from the region

to represent their food culture in their own perspective.

Conceived and written by popular Northeast Indian journalist and cultural activist Aiyushman Dutta,

Food Trail includes more than 30 insightful narratives by prominent Northeast Indian writers and

researchers, including Prof Temsula Ao, Easterine Kire, Kula Saikia, Anjum Hassan, and many more.
