Studies in anthropology and psychology undertaken in recent years on concepts of person and self approach the problem by concentrating on ideologies; the question of practice remains largely neglected. This is the first study to examine the individual-dividual debate empirically from the - emic - perspective of decision making, observed over a two-year period among the Bakkarwal, Himalayan Muslim pastoralists. Of particular significance is the fact that the author bases her approach on the life cycle and on gender and status differences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614645141655,"sku":"9781571819031","price":10423.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781571819031.webp?v=1775095192","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/autonomy-life-cycle-gender-and-status-among-himalayan-pastoralists-9781571819031","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
