Tragic Spirits – Shamanism, Memory, and Gender in Contemporary Mongolia
Manduhai Buyandelger
Following the travels of the nomadic Buryats, the author tells a story not only of economic devastation but also a remarkable Buryat response to it - the revival of shamanic practices after decades of socialist suppression. She offers a sophisticated analysis of the way economics, politics, gender, and other factors influence.
