The Great Opening of the West program diverts pastoral Tibetans to urban residence and urban livelihoods, resulting in a massive shift in social and economic patterns. Based on fieldwork that has been ongoing since 2007, this ethnography documents the transformation of Tibetan pastoral society in Qinghai Province under Chinese development efforts. It describes sedentarization and relocation policy agendas, viewpoints of both the affected pastoral population and officials charged with implementing policy, and case studies of pastoralists' response to sedentarization and other grassland management policies"--Provided by publisher.Studies on ethnic groups in ChinaTibetansMigrationsNomadsSedentarizationHerdersChinaTibetansForeign countriesGrasslandsChinaForced migrationChinaPastoral systemsChinaEconomic development projectsChinaZêkog Xian (China)Economic conditions21st centuryTibetansMigrations.NomadsSedentarization.HerdersTibetansGrasslandsForced migrationPastoral systemsEconomic development projectsELECTRONIC BOOKPtáčková Jarmila13357119910669820803321Exile from the Grasslands3050387UNINA
