Thomas White: China's Camel Country, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork with herders and local officials in Alasha, an arid region in the far west of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Thomas White illustrates the ways in which state environmentalism--through grazing bans, enclosure, and resettlement--has transformed the lives of ethnic Mongol pastoralists and their animals.
