Crate presents the first cultural ecological study of a Siberian
people: the Viliui Sakha, contemporary horse and cattle
agropastoralists in northeastern Siberia. The author links the
local and global economic forces, and provides an intimate view of
how a seemingly remote and isolated community is directly affected
by the forces of modernization and globalization. She details the
severe environmental and historical factors that continue to
challenge their survival, and shows how the multi-million dollar
diamond industry, in part run by ethnic Sakha, raises issues of
ethnic solidarity and indigenous rights as well as environmental
impact. Her new book addresses key topics of interest to both
economic and environmental anthropology, and to practitioners
interested in sustainable rural development, globalization,
indigenous rights in Eurasia, and post-Soviet and environmental
issues.
