The issue of collective and multiple property rights in animals, such as cattle, camels or reindeers, among pastoralists has never been a subject of special cross-cultural and comparative study. Focusing on pastoralist societies in East and West Africa, the Far North and Siberia, and the Eurasian steppes, this volume addresses the issue of property rights and the changes these societies have undergone due to the direct or indirect influence of modernization and globalization processes. The contributors also investigate the interplay of older sets of rights and modern marketing policies; politi

The subject of cattle-raids carried out by various nomadic communities on their counterparts is a subject of interest, intrigue and misinterpretation. What was the original purpose of cattle-raids in the concerned nomadic communities? How exactly were the raids carried out? What were the norms and taboos governing cattle-raids and wars in the traditional tribal folklore? Is cattle-raising compatible with modern society? Is it acceptable for perpetrators of modern cattle-raiding to hide behind ""tradition"" and justify their criminal activities. The above are some of the questions that inspired

An important chapter in the history and folklore of the West is how women on the cattle frontier took their place as equal partners with men. The cowboy may be our most authentic folk hero, but the cowgirl is right on his heels. This Spur Award winning book fills a void in the history of the cowgirl. While Susan B. Anthony and her hoop-skirted friends were declaring that females too were created equal, Sally Skull was already riding and roping and marking cattle with her Circle S brand on the frontier of Texas. Wearing rawhide bloomers and riding astride, she thought nothing of crossing the bo

This compelling autobiography offers a panoramic view of the daily joys of a traditional Mongolian herding life as well as the hardships of oppressive foreign rule, abetted by avaricious local nobles and monks. Sambuu's story demonstrates the attraction of Communism for the poor and subjugated in an exploitative system. He himself flourished under Communism, becoming ambassador to the Soviet Union during the Stalin era and to North Korea during the Korean War and ultimately president of Mongolia. Enriched by a thoughtful introduction by leading scholar Morris Rossabi that sets the historical s

Die vorliegende Studie möchte nun einerseits das Herdersche Slavenbild in seiner Gesamtheit und unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seiner Quellen skizzieren, andererseits einen Überblick über die Reaktionen auf Herders Werk in allen slavischen Kulturregionen bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts vermitteln, also bis zu jenem Zeitpunkt, da Herders Schriften bei den Slaven rasch an kulturpolitischer Aktualität verlieren und zum Gegenstand überwiegend wissenschaftshistorischen Interesses werden. Die Arbeit versteht sich in erster Linie als Materialsammlung und beschränkt sich somit auf die unmittelbar faktisch erfaßbare Rezeption in Form von Übersetzungen und publizistischen Reaktionen auf Herders Schriften.
