Following the Soviet Union’s 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 Højer and Morten Axel Pedersen present a new theorization of social agency in postsocialist as well as postcolonial contexts.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025062875480,"sku":null,"price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300196115__676ef3f3b241c.jpg?v=1741157639","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/urban-hunters-dealing-and-dreaming-in-times-of-transition","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
