Trading gold.
520 8 Mongolia over the last decade has seen a substantial and
ongoing gold rush. The wide-spread mining of gold looks at
first glance to be a blessing for a desperately poor and
largely pastoralist country. Volatility and uncertainty as
well as political and economic turmoil led many people to
join the hopeful search for gold. This activity poses an
intense moral problem; in the 'land of dust,' disturbing
the ground and extracting the precious metal is widely
believed to have calamitous consequences. With gold
retaining strong ties to the landscape and its many spirit
beings, the fortune of the preciouss metal is inseparable
from the fears that surround mining. This work considers
the results of several years of fieldwork in Mongolia,
time spent with the 'ninjas,' as the miners are known
locally, as well as the people who disapprove of their
illegal activities.
