A Postcolonial Study of Mamang Dai's The Black Hill

Author(s)	Pooja Gupta
Country	India
Abstract	Mamang Dai is an eminent North-East Indian woman writer in English who extensively explored the culture and history of Arunachal Pradesh and its ethnic groups. Her latest novel The Black Hill (2014) has got a great success for narrating neglected history of tribals and their resistance against the British’s colonialism. Throughout the novel, Mamang Dai reveals that tribes are engaged in constant inter-tribe feuds over territories but they are protective and possessive when they realise that colonisers are slowly approaching to invade their land and everything. Mamang Dai weaves a beautiful love story of Kajinsha and Gimur and the expenditure of missionary French Priest Father Krick to present colonial circumstances in Arunachal Pradesh.
Keywords	Postcolonialism, tribals, cultural hegemony, border consciouness, resistance.
