Mongols From Country To City Floating Boundaries, Pastorialism And City Life In The Mongol Lands

Mongols from Country to City examines the process of cultural change in Mongol societies since the early twentieth century by considering: the interaction of the basic structural features of pastoral nomadism in Mongolia with larger economies, both communist and capitalist; the effect of deliberate cultural reconstruction (ranging from changes to the education system to purges and outright cultural destruction) on the conduct of the pastoral economy; and the efforts of Mongols themselves to develop aspects of their own cultural identity under conditions of territorial partition, episodes of intense political repression, and (in the Russian and Chinese regions) very substantial immigration by non-Mongol groups.Bruun, Ole is the author of 'Mongols From Country To City Floating Boundaries, Pastorialism And City Life In The Mongol Lands', published 2006 under ISBN 9788791114410 and ISBN 8791114411.
