About the Book

Would marginalized countries such as Mongolia benefit from a reconfiguration of area studies programs or even from another way of thinking about the way we group nations? This book uses Mongolia as a case study to critique the area studies methodology and test the efficacy of another methodology, the "-scapes" method proposed by Arjun Appadurai.

About the Author :

She is the author of Modern Mongolia: Reclaiming Genghis Khan, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Review :
"While paying its due to established scholarship, this collection advances Mongolia studies into the modern realm of globalization. Its combination of disciplines will likely stimulate a broader assessment of Mongolia as a geographic and historical nexus. Social scientists, archaeologists, geneticists, and experts on environmental history will all find novelty in this innovative, holistic treatment of Mongolia past and present, as will students focusing on Inner Asian studies more generally."-Choice
