It is at this intersection, where the politics of tending to the past and the morality of new means of accumulating wealth come together to shape intimate social relations that the book reveals an innovative area for the study of kinship in anthropology. Combining personal experience with ethnographic insight, the volume will be essential reading for social anthropologists and those with a general interest in East Asia and post-socialist countries.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Asian history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Asian history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Asian%20history%20%5BHBJF%5D%22\"\u003eHBJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52509156802840,"sku":"9780197264737","price":72.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197264737.jpg?v=1786494771","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/harnessing-fortune-personhood-memory-and-place-in-mongolia-hardback-9780197264737","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
