Set in a remote district of villagers and nomadic pastoralists in
the northernmost part of Mongolia, this book introduces a local
world where social relationships are cast in witchcraft-like idioms
of mistrust and suspicion. While the apparent social breakdown that
followed the collapse of state socialism in Mongolia often implied
a chaotic lack of social cohesion, this ethnography reveals an
everyday universe where uncertain relations are as much internally
cultivated in indigenous Mongolian perceptions of social
relatedness, as they are externally confronted in postsocialist
surroundings of unemployment and diminished social security.
