Mongolia Remade cover

This book explores the historical and contemporary processes that have made and remade Mongolia as it is today: the construction of ethnic and national cultures, the transformations of political economy and a ‘nomadic’ pastoralism, and the revitalization of a religious and cosmological heritage that has led to new forms of post-socialist politics. Widely published as an expert in the field, David Sneath offers a fresh perspective into a region often seen as mysterious to the West.

"Indeed, Sneath's unique contribution to the research on Mongolia comes from — although by no means exclusively — his exceptionally fluent and dynamic knowledge of the histories of the Mongols, not just the current and recent socialist, but also the ancient." - Manduhai Buyandelger, The Journal of Asian Studies, 2020
