A History of Adivasi Women in Post-Independence Eastern India is a path-breaking book that explores the current status of Adivasi women in the four states of eastern India with high percentages of Adivasis—Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal. 

Debasree De engages with the recent paradigm of ‘development and displacement’ and Adivasi women’s marginalization and cultural silencing. The findings in the book are based on extensive field surveys in tea-gardens, stone crushing sites, brick kilns and construction industries. Further, the book provides new material on the extremist villages of Jangal Mahal, Koraput, Malkangiri and Niyamgiri Hills. 

Linking tribe and gender, the author elaborates how forest economy is women’s economy; forcible eviction by multinationals for new industries has led to severe displacement and poverty, apart from the intensification of witch-hunting and trafficking of girls.  aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 267-285) and index.  aAcknowledgments Introduction    Demystifying Adivasi Women: Some Epistemological Issues    Changing Livelihood Pattern of Adivasi Women in West Bengal    Adivasi Rejas in Bihar    Adivasi Women and Land Rights in Jharkhand    Adivasi Women and Destructive Development in Odisha    Increasing Marginalizing Adivasi Women: The Process of Cultural Silencing    Epilogue    Bibliography    Index 0aWomen, AdivasizIndiaxSocial conditions. 0aMarginality, SocialzIndia.
