Poet of landscape, myth and memory, Soso Tham paid rich and poignant tribute to his tribe in his masterpiece The Old Days of the Khasis. Janet Hujon's vibrant new translation presents the English reader with Tham's long poem, which keeps a rich cultural tradition of the Khasi people alive through its retelling of old narratives and acts as a cultural signpost for their literary identity. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Indian literature and culture and in the interplay between oral traditions and written literary forms. 410 0$aWorld oral literature series. 606 $aLight and darkness 606 $aKhasi (Indic people) 610 $along poem 610 $akhasi 610 $asoso tham 610 $anortheastern india 610 $apoetry 610 $aFruit 610 $aGod 610 $aKhasi people 615 0$aLight and darkness. 615 0$aKhasi (Indic people) 676 $a306.45 700 $aTham$b Soso$f1873-1940,$01260644 702 $aHujon$b Janet 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265946203321 996 $aTales of darkness and light$92921685 997 $aUNINA
