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.
