Trans–Himalayan Borderlands – Livelihoods, Territorialities, Modernities: Asian Borderlands
Autor Dan Smyer Yu, Jean Michaud, Willem Van Schendel, Tina Harris, Gunnel Cederlöfen Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2017
The societies in the Himalayan borderlands have undergone wide-ranging transformations, as the territorial reconfiguration of modern nation-states since the mid-twentieth century and the presently increasing trans-Himalayan movements of people, goods, and capital reshape the livelihoods of communities, pulling them into global trends of modernization and regional discourses of national belonging. This book explores the changes to native senses of place, the conception of border – simultaneously as limitations and opportunities – and what the authors call “affective boundaries,” “livelihood reconstruction,” and “trans-Himalayan modernities.” It addresses changing social, political, and environmental conditions that acknowledge growing external connectivity even as it emphasizes the importance of place.
