An ethnography of the Mongolian capital city of Ulaanbaatar during the nation's transition from socialism to a market-based economic system. Urban Hunters is an ethnography of the Mongolian capital city, Ulaanbaatar, during the nation's transition from socialism to a market-based economic system. Following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, Mongolia entered a period of economic chaos characterized by wild inflation, disappearing banks, and closing farms, factories, and schools. During this time of widespread poverty, a generation of young adults came of age. In exploring the social, cultural, and existential ramifications of a transition that has become permanent and acquired a logic of its own, Lars Hojer and Morten Axel Pedersen present a new theorization of social agency in postsocialist as well as postcolonial contexts 5106 Postcolonialismo Ulán Bator (Mongolia) 16069 Ulán Bator (Mongolia) Condiciones sociales Siglo XX 16071 Ulán Bator (Mongolia) Condiciones económicas Siglo XX. 16072 Ulán Bator (Mongolia) Vida social y costumbres 16073 Ulán Bator (Mongolia) Historia 16076 Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) Historia 16074 Pedersen, Morten Axel, 1969- 0 ibc orignew 2 epcn 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 0 0 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2020-04-29 0 424 DS 798.9 H719u 2019 00000140363 2020-04-29 00:00:00 1 2020-04-29 BK
