In this well-grounded study of pastoral shepherds, Kavoori works to dispel some of the myths surrounding pastoralism. His historically-informed analysis provides detailed ecological information from migratory routes to historical transformations on the pastoral communities of western Rajasthan. He examines the concrete condition under which transhumance obtains at present, and reveals the complex interdependence between processes of pastoral production and the broader social and economic context of agriculture and markets.
