The Invention of the ‘Jummas’: State Formation and Ethnicity in Southeastern Bangladesh

Author:

van Schendel Willem

Abstract

This paper deals with socio-cultural innovation in the hills of southeastern Bangladesh. Outsiders have always been struck by the ethnic diversity of this area. The literature—written mainly by British civil servants, Bengali men of letters, and European anthropologists—presents a picture of twelve distinct ‘tribes’, all practising swidden or shifting agriculture, locally known asjhumcultivation. In addition, there are Bengali immigrants who do not engage in swidden cultivation.
