The book “Life, Arts and Crafts of Arunachal Pradesh” focuses on the fundamental arts and crafts practiced by the major tribes of Arunachal Pradesh. These arts and crafts are discussed within the context of the major tribes’ total way of life and culture, both of which revolve around their artistic craft endeavors. The author has enriched her explanation not only on the basis of historical source materials but also by her intimate familiarity with the life styles of the tribes which she marshaled in the course of her intensive field work in Arunachal Pradesh. She was able to do this by gathering this information while she was conducting her fieldwork in Arunachal Pradesh. Dr. Mukhopadhyay highlights the fact that tribal artisans, despite the fact that they are primarily involved in the production of crafts that are essentially useful products, have been successful in producing art works of very high aesthetic quality. Despite being almost completely cut off from the rest of the world during the years of 1982 and 1983, the craftspeople managed to be independent in practically every aspect of their lives. However, the arrival of the contemporary commercialization process has placed them in a difficult transitional period. In the middle of the conflicting currents caused by opposing forces that are taking place right now, the author has investigated the possibility of discovering an optimal escape route for the worried resident. The book is embellished with stunning plates and photographs that portray the life and crafts of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
