AB  - Drawing on nearly twenty years of fieldwork, as well as ethnohistory, politics, and economics, this volume takes a close look at changes in the lives of the indigenous Siberian Khanty people and draws crucial connections between those changes and the social, cultural, and political transformation that swept Russia during the transition to democracy in the twentieth century. Delving deeply into the history of the Khanty, the authors show how the customs, traditions, and knowledge of a relatively isolated and indigenous people responded to pressures unleashed by such traumatic events as the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, its replacement by the post-Soviet petrostate, and the emergence of democratic aspirations among Siberia's native peoples. -- from Back Cover
