With the visible growth of scholarship on the Northeast of India across disciplines, there is also an increasing need for critical materials. And adding to the wide range of research interests on the region, literary studies, borderland studies and inter-disciplinary studies have gained momentum. The present volume makes an obvious and a modest attempt at exploring the emerging literary and cultural studies. However, given the enormity of the literary tradition, a singular focus on the works of Easterine Kire has been considered, that too only on her novels. Among the many contemporary writers of the region, she stands as a pioneer of writings in English, and, of late, her works have gained substantial academic attention from different universities across the country. This, of course, is partly propelled by the growing fascination in the Anglophone literatures from the region and the fresh perspectives that one derives from these writings because they offer a reimagination of the Northeast beyond the much-hyped issues of conflict and violence.
