We are proud to publish this special issue of HIMALAYA titled "Multivocal Spaces: An Exploration of Everyday Life in Darjeeling Himalayas", guest edited by Dipti Tamang, Rinzi Lama and Sarah Besky. In seven articles, a beautiful photo essay and an extraordinary artwork, our guest editors are bringing together an exceptional group of scholars offering new insight into the ways local communities in Darjeeling speak, wrestle, envision, and articulate their own aspirations, understandings of place, belonging, and indeed inclusion and exclusion in the broader political fabric.
