"Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork with herders and local officials in Alasha, an arid region in the far west of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Thomas White illustrates the ways in which state environmentalism--through grazing bans, enclosure, and resettlement--has transformed the lives of ethnic Mongol pastoralists and their animals. In exploring how the greening of the Chinese state affects the entangled lives of humans and animals at the margins of the nation state, this study contributes to debates in political anthropology, animal studies, political ecology, and more-than-human-geography"-- Provided by publisher.
