[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1527270152818","data":"<p> Dr. Jatin Mipun, belong to the Mishing tribe. Did his M.A. and Phd. in sociology from Dibrugarh university. He writes poems and short stories in Assamese languages, besides research paper for learned journals. Books in Assamese language are \u201cMiksijili (novel)\u201d, \u201cKankanar Prithibit (short story)\u201d, \u201cAsom Darshan (essay)\u201d, and \u201cDupor Nishar Bahit (poems)\u201d. \u201cMiksijili\u201d his novel is based on socio-cultural life of Mishing which was awarded prestigious Ambikagiri Raichoudhury Award of Asom Sahitya Sabha, the novel was also telecaste as serial from Guwahati Doordarshan, Assam. The book actually deals with the major tribe of Assam i.e. The Misings an attempt to understand the process of acculturation, communication and development among the Missing tribe of Assam. <br>The book deals with the concept of \u2018acculturation\u2019 during late nineteenth century where different authors gave their different views on acculturation like Powell (1880), about \u2018changing indigenous traditions under the influence of civilized people\u2019. The book also portrays the social life, clan and kinship organization, Marriage, Religion, different festival, about the folk dance and folk song, political life of Mishing. The Acculturation among the Mishings which mainly deals with the religious contacts which made the Mishings the part of the regional culture and the great tradition of Hinduism and also talks about the food habit, the language spoken, the house pattern, the dress pattern and the tools and implements. <br> The author has been successful to write about the Mising community because each covers a different aspect of the Mising community and moreover he was able to put up statistical data for the readers. The chapters deal deeply with the topics concerned. The book happens to be catchier because of the different case studies that the author has did keeping in mind the different topics the book deals with. And also at the end of the book he has showed the interview schedule that he has used to interview people in the villages. According to me, the author has done justice by studying the Mising community because he has used each and every detail from the name of the food for example apong, Adin (meat), ango(fish) etc and what are the new things that they has adopted in their culture. Although he has use some of the concepts but this book can be read to know the Mishing community of Assam. I am happy that I have taken out little time to read this book which was a profitable and enjoyable experience.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527270543318","data":"5b084de487648"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527270564957","data":"5b084dfb3b33e"}]
