那些在亚洲内陆广阔草原地区放牧的人面临着不稳定的局势，因为他们努力应对近年来重大的政治和经济变化。游牧的终结？卡罗琳·汉弗莱和大卫·斯登通过揭示这些现代”移动的牧民“的复杂生活和对亚洲文化的重大影响，直面游牧民族的浪漫、非历史神话。在他们对畜牧业的现在和未来的研究中，作者叙述了近年来广泛而突然的社会，政治，环境和经济变化，这些变化迫使这些人做出反应和进化，以保持他们数百年的生活方式。通过广泛而详细的案例研究，比较俄罗斯西伯利亚、蒙古和中国西北地区的畜牧业，汉弗莱和萨金特探索了这些国家游牧民族应对不断变化的世界所采取的不同道路。在研究每种文化如何不仅面临不同的可持续发展前景，而且面临不同的环境问题时，作者得出了令人惊讶的结论，即移动性实际上可以与现代化和城市化的世界相兼容。在强调中亚的社会和文化传统及其在当今后社会主义经济中的命运的同时，《游牧主义的终结？通过关注受到环境威胁的关键地区，并将持续存在的问题与俄罗斯和中国独特的社会经济政策和做法联系起来，调查畜牧业不断变化的性质。它还提供了生动的当代评论当前的经济困境，揭示了在告诉细节，例如，一个大家庭的斗争，以谋生。这本书将感兴趣中亚，俄罗斯和中国的专家，以及那些研究环境，人类学，社会学，农民研究和生态学。
Those who herd in the vast grassland region of Inner Asia face a precarious situation as they struggle to respond to the momentous political and economic changes of recent years. In The End of Nomadism? Caroline Humphrey and David Sneath confront the romantic, ahistorical myth of the wandering nomad by revealing the complex lives and the significant impact on Asian culture of these modern" mobile pastoralists." In their examination of the present and future of pastoralism, the authors recount the extensive and quite sudden social, political, environmental, and economic changes of recent years that have forced these peoples to respond and evolve in order to maintain their centuries-old way of life. Using extensive and detailed case studies comparing pastoralism in Siberian Russia, Mongolia, and Northwest China, Humphrey and Sneath explore the different paths taken by nomads in these countries in reaction to a changing world. In examining how each culture is facing not only different prospects for sustainability but also different environmental problems, the authors come to the surprising conclusion that mobility can, in fact, be compatible with a modern and urbanized world. While placing emphasis on the social and cultural traditions of Inner Asia and their fate in the post-Socialist economies of the present, The End of Nomadism? investigates the changing nature of pastoralism by focusing on key areas under environmental threat and relating the ongoing problems to distinctive socioeconomic policies and practices in Russia and China. It also provides lively contemporary commentary on current economic dilemmas by revealing in telling detail, for instance, the struggle of one extended family to make a living. This book will interest Central Asian, Russian, and Chinese specialists, as well as those studying the environment, anthropology, sociology, peasant studies, and ecology.
