Description
Book SynopsisOffers an overview of the state of Inuit studies. This volume includes topics such as the development of a circumpolar research policy, the complex identities of Inuit in the twenty-first century, and more. It is useful for students and scholars interested in circumpolar North and in contemporary Native communities.
Trade Review"[Should] make a useful textbook for undergraduate students in northern anthropology, geography or sociology. The authors constitute an interesting sample of contemporary specialists of Inuit studies, most of them American or Canadian, but with the addition of two scholars from the Old World, one French and one Japanese."
