From Shillong to Saigon:
Marketplaces as Crossroads of Culture
From Shillong to Saigon: Marketplaces as Crossroads of Culture gathers essays that explore the cultural, social and economic significance of markets across Northeast India and Southeast Asia. Together, these accounts reveal markets as places where identities are shaped, gender roles negotiated and bonds of solidarity renewed.
In Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, local markets preserve tradition while adapting to shifting economies. Across Southeast Asia, from Thailand to Cambodia and Vietnam, markets embody the same blend of commerce and culture, continuity and transformation. As living theatres of exchange and encounter, markets illuminate resilience, nurture coexistence and remind us of the delicate balance between conflict and harmony.
