The assumption that Mongolia is a nomadic nation is largely predicated upon Mongolia's environmental and climatic conditions, which are understood to make Mongolia suitable for little else than pastoral nomadism. But to the contrary, the majority of Mongolians have been settled in and around cities and small population centers. Even Mongolians who are herders have long been unable to move freely in a smooth space, as dictated by the needs of their herds, and as they would as free-roaming \"nomads.\" Instead, they have been subjected to various constraints across time that have significantly limited their movement. The book weaves threads from disparate branches of Mongolian studies to expose various visible and invisible constraints on population mobility in Mongolia from the Qing period to the post-socialist era. 　 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its in-depth analysis of the complexities of the relationship between land rights, mobility, displacement, and the state, the book makes a valuable contribution to the fields of cultural geography, political geography, heritage and culture studies, as well as Eurasian and Inner-Asian Studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the Julian Minghi Distinguished Book Award (AAG, 2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Orhon Myadar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367552205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367552206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.30d","brand":"Orhon Myadar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981760594175,"sku":"9780367552206","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb647da2-173f-4f1d-baab-cbc03ee31832.jpg?v=1683257386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobility-and-displacement-orhon-myadar-9780367552206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
