Race debates have become more frequent at the national level, and the response to racism in the media and by politicians has shifted from denial to acknowledgment to action. Focusing on the experiences of communities from India's Northeast borderland, the author explores the dynamics of race debates in contemporary India.

Duncan McDuie-Ra is Associate Dean of Research at the University of New South Wales, Australia. His research focuses on borderlands with a long-standing interest in Northeast India. His previous books include Frontier City to Gateway City: Militarisation and Liberalisation in Imphal (2015), Northeast Migrants in Delhi: Race, Refuge and Retail (2012), and The Politics of Collective Advocacy in India: Tools and Traps (with N. Deo, 2011).
