The 1926\/27 Soviet Polar Census Expeditions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by David G. Anderson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe contributors have made excellent use of recently opened archives and interviews with descendants of the people surveyed to provide a uniquely human portrait of this seminal project. While the chapters focus most thoroughly on the Nenets, Khanty, and Yakut, the analysis is of broader relevance to an understanding of Siberian peoples during the first stages of the sovietization of the Far North. This book will prove of unique value to historians of the Soviet period as well as to cultural anthropologists specializing in polar peoples.

\u201cThis interesting collection looks at changes in population studies and examines indigeneity in contexts as different as Australia and Norway. It is particularly valuable with respect to two broad geographic categories: countries originally settled by British colonists, and states in northern Europe\u2026 the study of categorization and enumeration offers valuable insights on how ethnic boundaries are established, and how–inevitably–they are challenged and contested<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn sum,\u00a0<\/em>New Media Nationoffers scholars of minorities, of digital media and of globalizing indigeneities the opportunity to understand how the practices of producing meanings through discourses of resistance contribute over time to the development and re-invigoration of alternative discourses often thought to have been dissolved by the spread of \u2018mass media\u2019.

Georg Henriksen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cValuable as an example of the anthropology of development and modernization prevalent in northern Canada at the time, the book transcends this genre in the acuity of its ethnographic analysis and beautifully captures a moment \u2013 Henriksen began fieldwork in 1966 \u2013 when Mushuau Innu were making the transition to permanent communities\u2026 This book is important for Algonquian and circumpolar specialists, as well as for students wishing to understand dynamics of hunting societies in modernity.

Names and Nunavut<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture and Identity in the Inuit Homeland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerie Alia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026a thought-provoking book. Alia lays out the intricacies of Inuit naming so clearly, describes the Arctic environment so vividly, and conveys such a rich sense of Inuit values, concerns, and humour that readers are likely to hunger for more information and to pose ethnographic and on mastic questions that press forward the horizons of Inuit ethnography. Names and Nunavut is a welcome addition to Arctic ethnography and should be of interest not only to linguists and anthropologists working in the Arctic but to anyone interested in the relationship between onomasty, personhood, and cosmology and to anyone looking for fresh insights to the micropractices of linguistic and onomastic colonialism”<\/em>\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
