Essential Work by Others
This section gathers critical works by scholars which have deeply informed my research, and which are difficult to access – either because their hard copies are rarely available or because they lack a digital version.
Here they are preserved with care and gratitude, both as a scholarly resource and as a gesture of recognition.
Encyclopaedia Mundarica
by S.J. Emelen; Foreword By K.S. Singh Hoffman S.J. John, Artur Van
The Encyclopaedia Mundarica is a comprehensive 15-volume work focused on the Munda people—primarily the Mundari-speaking Adivasi community in India. Compiled by Reverend John Hoffmann, a Jesuit missionary, over several decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the encyclopaedia is one of the most detailed ethnographic records of an Indigenous community in South Asia.
