A critical look at how Inuit men balance traditional values and social circumstances to find their place in the contemporary Arctic.

Trade Review
"Not since Jean Briggs' Never in Anger has an ethnography been so open and honest with the trials and tribulations of conducting anthropological research in a small, close-knit community in the North. Collings provides details of community life that are authentic, intimate, and insightful; his candour and clarity in describing the everyday life of cultural anthropologists doing fieldwork is poignant and gripping." Edmund Searles, associate professor of anthropology, Bucknell University " Anyone interested in men and maleness, coming of age, ethnographic methods and ethics, hunting societies, Inuit culture, and the contemporary Arctic will be richly rewarded by reading Becoming Inummarik." American Anthroplogist
