Petra Rethmann - Tundra Passages: Gender and History in the Russian Far East
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press | 2001-02 | ISBN: 0271020571 | PDF | 219 pages | 5.82 MB
The first book in the field of post-Soviet Studies to focus on issues of gender in the Russian Far East.
\"etra Rethmann’s evocative Tundra Passages breaks completely new ground in ethnography from the Russian Far East. Drawing on conversations and experiences shared with Koriak women living on northeastern Kamchatka peninsula, she conveys the human dignity and creative energy that persist in the midst of social suffering following the breakdown of the Soviet empire. Rethmann demonstrates how historical conditions and regional inequalities affect the lives of women who struggle to make a better world for themselves and their families. This is ethnography at its very best.\" —Julie Cruikshank, University of British Columbia
Koriak have been described as a nomadic people, migrating with the reindeer through rugged terrain. Their autonomy and mobility are salient cultural features that ethnographers and state administrators have found equally fascinating and menacing.
