 Provinces of Mongolia Summary
Mongolia's eastern provinces of Dornod, Suhbaatar, and Hentii are dominated by grassy steppe, a geography that suits the region's major economy— sheep, cattle, and horse breeding.

 Resurrecting Racism: The attack on black people using phony science

But I am also trained as a cultural anthropologist, that is to say, as an ethnographer, and I do my field work in western Mongolia (province of Hovd), studying the manner in which neighboring ethnic populations perceive and think about each other.
Because my anthropological work has been heavily psychological, I have made a special focus of the issue of categorization: that is, I have sought to understand how and why people construct categories of ‘race’ which they incorrectly believe to be biologically real.
