Description

Focusing on nomadic societies in South Asia, the essays in this volume show how large sections of rural South Asia have long been dynamic, mobile, resilient and rational agents. These readings cover a wide spectrum of resource uses, consider a variety of ecological and political settings and illustrate how rewarding the study of South Asian nomadism can be.
