How might we make connections between seemingly mundane daily life and more abstract levels of global change? Geographical Diversions focuses on two generations of traders who exchange goods such as sheep wool, pang gdan aprons, and more recently, household appliances. Exploring how traders "make places," Harris examines the creation of geographies of trade that work against state ideas of what trade routes should look like. She argues that the tensions between the apparent fixity of national boundaries and the mobility of local individuals around such restrictions are precisely how routes and histories of trade are produced. The economic rise of China and India has received attention from the international media, but the effects of major new infrastructure at the intersecting borderlands of these nationstates--in places like Tibet, northern India, and Nepal--have rarely been covered. Geographical Diversions challenges globalization theories based on bounded conceptions of nation-states and offers a smaller-scale perspective that differs from many theories of macroscale economic change."--Publisher's website. 0aEthnologyzChinazTibet Autonomous Region. 0aCommercezChinazTibet Autonomous Region. 0aSheepherdingxEconomic aspectszChinazTibet Autonomous Region. 0aHuman geographyzChinazTibet Autonomous Region. 0aTibet Autonomous Region (China)xBoundaries. 0aTibet Autonomous Region (China)xEconomic conditions.
