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 H jer and Morten Axel Pedersen present a new theorization of social agency in postsocialist as well as postcolonial contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Hojer, Morten Axel Pedersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300196113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300196115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2020","brand":"Lars Hojer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476839883007,"sku":"9780300196115","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a309860c-acfb-428b-a8fe-0bf7de4e327f.jpg?v=1715918309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-hunters-lars-hojer-9780300196115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
