Following the Soviet Unions collapse in 1991, Mongolia entered a period of economic chaos characterized by wild inflation, disappearing banks, and closing farms, factories, and schools. During this time of widespread poverty, a generation of young adults came of age. In exploring the social, cultural, and existential ramifications of a transition that has become permanent and acquired a logic of its own, Lars Hjer and Morten Axel Pedersen present a new theorization of social agency in postsocialist as well as postcolonial contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730457821472,"sku":"NEW0300196113","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61bDc9WghFL.jpg?v=1779431321","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/urban-hunters-dealing-and-dreaming-in-times-of-transition-eurasia-past-and-present-0300196113","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
