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":"Lars Hojer, Morten Axel Pedersen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45753189269822,"sku":"9780300196115","price":1972.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780300196115_1d7bebff-dbcd-40ee-afd6-8c5a7df0e03c.jpg?v=1707239093","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780300196115","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
