Overview of Facing Globalization in the Himalayas: Belonging and the Politics of the Self - Vol.5 (Governance, Conflict and Civic Action) Book

This book explores the complex relationships between belonging and globalization in the contemporary Himalayan world and beyond. Over the last decades, the interrelations at local, national and global scales have intensified in historically unprecedented forms and intensity. At the same time, homogenizing global processes have generated parochial and vernacular reactions. This book aims at developing an appropriate analysis of these interactions and thus, at supplementing the previous collection on the Politics of Belonging in the Himalayas.This book is the first major study on this topic and a crucial contribution to the study of the current change within the Himalayan societies and their cultures. It is based on several case studies carried out by outstanding anthropologists, geographers, linguists, political scientists working in the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas.Table of Contents:PrefaceIntroduction: Globalization and Belonging in the Himalayas and in Trans-Himalayan Social Spaces G rard Toffin and Joanna Pfaff-CzarneckaI: Shifting Horizons of Belonging Improbable Globalization: Individualization and Christianization among the Tamangs Blandine RipertCircular Lives: Histories and Economies of Belonging in the Transnational Thangmi Village Sara ShneidermanBeing a Ladakhi, Playing the Nomad Pascale DollfusII: Migrant Experiences in South Asia and BeyondMigration, Marginality and Modernity: Hill Men's Journey to Mumbai Jeevan R.
