The Gaddi of North India are agro-pastoralists who rear sheep and
goats following a seasonal migration around the first Himalayan
range. While studies on pastoralists have focused either on the
pastoralists' adaptation to their physical environment or treated
the environment from a symbolic perspective, this book offers a
new, holistic perspective that analyzes the ways in which people
"make" place. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book not only
describes a contemporary understanding of the Gaddi's engagement
with the environment but also analyzes religious practices and
performances of social relations, as well as media practices and
notions of aesthetics. Thereby, the landscape in which the Gaddi
live is understood as a network of places that is constantly being
built and rebuilt through these local practices. The book
contributes to the growing interest in approaches of practice
within environmental anthropology.
