Global Mountain Regions - Conversations toward the FuturePaperback / softback
No matter where they are located in the world, communities living in mountain regions have shared experiences defined in large part by contradictions. They are perceived as remote and socially inferior backwaters on one hand while simultaneously seen as culturally rich and spiritually sacred spaces on the other. These communities often face social and economic marginalization despite providing the lumber, coal, minerals, tea, and tobacco that have fueled the growth of nations for centuries.
Shifting national borders and changes to watersheds, forests, and natural resources play an increasingly important role as nations respond to the needs of a global economy.The works in this volume consider multiple nations, languages, These contradictions become even more fraught as environmental changes and political strains place added pressure on these mountain communities.
