This book presents an analytical framework for understanding how mobility is an inherent part of such changes. \u003cbr\u003eThe book demonstrates how current neoliberal policies are making people increasingly on the move - whether voluntarily or forced, and whether individually, as family, or as whole communities - and how such mobility is changing the livelihoods of indigenous people, with particular focus on how these transformations are gendered. It queries how state policies and cross-border and cross-regional connections have shaped and redefined the livelihood patterns, rights and citizenship, identities, and gender relations of indigenous peoples. It also identifies the dynamic changes that indigenous men and women are facing, given rapid infrastructure improvements and commercialization and\/or industrialization in their places of Environment. \u003cbr\u003eWith a focus on mobility, this innovative book gives students and researchers in development studies, gender studies, human geography, anthropology and Asian studies a more realistic assessment of peoples livelihood choices under a time of rapid transformation, and the knowledge produced may add value to present development policies and practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRagnhild Lund\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in Development Geography at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKyoko Kusakabe\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Gender and Development Studies at the School of Environment, Resources and Development, at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmita Mishra Panda\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor at the School of Management at the Human Development Foundation in Odisha, India.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYunxian Wang\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent researcher, affiliated to the Institute of Sociology, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127464431751,"sku":"9781138928398","price":69.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/91952ac42e26e31b9ab6268d13da7913.webp?v=1732588788","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/gender-mobilities-and-livelihood-transformations-comparing-indigenous-people-in-china-india-and-laos-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
