Book Synopsis
The view has emerged that the Inuit were coerced by the Canadian government into abandoning life in scattered camps for centres of habitation. David Damas demonstrates that eventually, concerns over health, housing, and education and welfare brought about policy changes that inevitably led to centralization.

Trade Review
"Excellent scholarship. It represents research in a wide variety of archival and published materials. Damas' own sense and experience of the emerging Arctic villages of the 1950s and 1960s is essential to his reading of the archives. The result is a well documented, thorough piece of work whose scholarly marks are evident on every page." Derek G. Smith, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University
