Reclaiming the Forest

The Ewenki Reindeer Herders of Aoluguya

214 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Describes the reindeer herders of Aoluguya, China, a group of former hunters who today see themselves as "keepers of reindeer" as they engage in ethnic tourism and exchange experiences with their Evenki neighbors in Russian Siberia. Focuses on the efforts of the Ewenki to reclaim their forest lifestyle and develop new forest livelihoods. Academic and literary contributions balance the volume written by authors who are either indigenous to the region or have carried out fieldwork among the Aoluguya Ewenki since the late 1990s.
