““The editors...offered a wide interpretative canvas to its contributors but the anthology is, at its core, an exposition of how the son-of-the-soil syndrome bedevils the region.”

“Through lived experiences, these essays, poems and personal accounts bring into sharp focus the politics of identity and the identity of politics of a region that has unfortunately remained as misty as its mountains in the larger public consciousness. These accounts, laced with poignance, sadness, and even horror, leave many a knot in a reader’s stomach.”
