  7. Jasper Becker, The Lost Country, Hodder and Stoughton (forthcoming)
    Offers a detailed analysis of Becker’s encounters with Mongolian peoples in his journey throughout the Mongols. From Montgomery’s (1997) review of the book, “Becker manages to cover quite a bit of geographical and thematic ground during both his travels and in the present book that documents their results. While in Höhhot (apparently to view a naadam ), his hosts tell him of the near-genocidal persecution of the Mongol population during theCultural Revolution. In Ulaanbaatar, he witnesses the dawn of the MPR's pro-democracy movementand meets with survivors of Choibalsang's purges and the descendants of their victims. Interviews with elderly monks at the partially-restored Erdene Zuu monastery provide an account of the 1930s destruction of Mongolian Buddhism. A trip to Khövsgöl Aimag provides the opportunity to view two performances by Tsaatan and Darkhad shamans and to learn of the persecution of shamans under Communist rule. In Khentii Aimag, Becker joins up with a Japanese-Mongolian joint expedition in search of Chinggis Khan's final resting place. He spends a week in Ômnôgovï Aimag hunting dinosaur eggs. In Buriatia, the author interviews the linguist Valentin Rassadin and the religious scholar Nikolai Abaev about Soviet language policy in Buriatia and Buriat Buddhism, visits a Russian Old Believer settlement, and attends meetings of local Buriat and Russian nationalist.”
