Harnessing Fortune: Personhood, Memory and Place in Mongolia: British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship Monographs

Autor Rebecca M. Empson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2011
Based on long-term fieldwork with herding families along the Mongolian-Russian border, this book examines how people tend to past memories in their homes while navigating new ways of accumulating wealth and fortune in the face of political and economic uncertainties. It is at this intersection, where the politics of tending to the past and the morality of new means of accumulating wealth come together to shape intimate social relations that the book reveals an innovative area for the study of kinship in anthropology. Combining personal experience with ethnographic insight, the volume will be essential reading for social anthropologists and those with a general interest in East Asia and post-socialist countries.

Recenzii

Harnessing Fortune wears its learning lightly...Empson's writing is suffused with a deeply personal connection to a people who, as she asserts, are not living in a way that they consider to be transitional.
