Beskrivning

Often home to rural, indigenous communities, mountain regions are rapidly becoming preserves for the social elite, and altogether unsustainable within the climate crisis. Bringing together scholars from geography, sociology, anthropology, history, and urban studies, Mountainscapes seeks to re-examine the dynamics of mountain mobilities and better understand how tourism, migration, and pastoralism shape mountain communities. Ranging from the Swiss Alps to the Chilean Andes, this volume illuminates how the processes of place-making and non-belonging specifically manifest and evolve within our ever-changing mountain regions.

Recensioner i media

“This book offers a contemporary and diverse perspective on mobility issues in mountain areas. By combining different academic disciplines, it allows us to approach the subject from a variety of angles. Some chapters of this book are demanding for the reader, but this reflects their academic quality.” • Yann Decorzant, The Regional Centre for the Study of Alpine Populations (CREPA)
