\u201cUsbeck\u2019s study is very impressive. He has collected a great number of facts\u2026[and] presents a most interesting book\u2026An extensive bibliography concludes an important work that is also attractively illustrated.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 AmerIndian Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Germans exhibited a widespread cultural passion for tales and representations of Native Americans. This book explores the evolution of German national identity and its relationship with the ideas and cultural practices around \u201cIndianthusiasm.\u201d Pervasive and adaptable, imagery of Native Americans was appropriated by Nazi propaganda and merged with exceptionalist notions of German tribalism, oxymoronically promoting the Nazis\u2019 racial ideology. This book combines cultural and intellectual history to scrutinize the motifs of Native American imagery in German literature, media, and scholarship, and analyzes how these motifs facilitated the propaganda effort to nurture national pride, racial thought, militarism, and hatred against the Allied powers among the German populace.<\/p>\n

\nThe Gwich’in Natives of Alaska
\nSteven C. Dinero<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Gwich\u2019in Natives of Arctic Village, Alaska, have experienced intense social and economic changes for more than a century. In the late 20th century, new transportation and communication technologies introduced radically new value systems; while some of these changes may be seen as socially beneficial, others suggest a weakening of what was once a strong and vibrant Native community. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered since the turn of the millennium, this volume offers an interdisciplinary evaluation of the developments that have occurred in the community over the past several decades.<\/p>\n

OWNERSHIP AND NURTURE<\/a>
\nStudies in Native Amazonian Property Relations
\nEdited by Marc Brightman, Carlos Fausto, and Vanessa Grotti
\nForeword by James Leach<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first book to address the classic anthropological theme of property through the ethnography of Amazonia, Ownership and Nurture sets new and challenging terms for anthropological debates about the region and about property in general. Property and ownership have special significance and carry specific meanings in Amazonia, which has been portrayed as the antithesis of Western, property-based, civilization. Through carefully constructed studies of land ownership, slavery, shamanism, spirit mastery, aesthetics, and intellectual property, this volume demonstrates that property relations are of central importance in Amazonia, and that the ownership of persons plays an especially significant role in native cosmology.<\/p>\n

\nThe Ewenki Reindeer Herders of Aoluguya
\nEdited by \u00c5shild Kol\u00e5s and Yuanyuan Xie
\nForeword by F. Georg Heyne<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reindeer herders of Aoluguya, China, are a group of former hunters who today see themselves as \u201ckeepers of reindeer\u201d as they engage in ethnic tourism and exchange experiences with their Ewenki neighbors in Russian Siberia. Though to some their future seems problematic, this book focuses on the present, challenging the pessimistic outlook, reviewing current issues, and describing the efforts of the Ewenki to reclaim their forest lifestyle and develop new forest livelihoods. Both academic and literary contributions balance the volume written by authors who are either indigenous to the region or have carried out fieldwork among the Aoluguya Ewenki since the late 1990s.<\/p>\n

\nIdentity Politics in the Cameroon Grassfields
\nMichaela Pelican<\/p>\n

Volume 11, Integration and Conflict Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Cameroon Grassfields, home to three ethnic groups \u2013 Grassfields societies, Mbororo, and Hausa \u2013 provide a valuable case study for the anthropological examination of identity politics and interethnic relations. In the midst of the political liberalization of Cameroon in the late 1990s and 2000s, local responses to political and legal changes took the form of a series of performative and discursive expressions of ethnicity. Confrontational encounters stimulated by economic and political rivalry, as well as socially integrative processes, transformed collective self-understanding in Cameroon in conjunction with recent global discourses on human, minority, and indigenous rights. The book provides a vital contribution to the study of ethnicity, conflict, and social change in the anthropology of Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cKowal\u2019s work is essential to any project that seeks to change or even imagine a different world.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Anthropos<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Australia, a \u2018tribe\u2019 of white, middle-class, progressive professionals is actively working to improve the lives of Indigenous people. This book explores what happens when well-meaning people, supported by the state, attempt to help without harming. \u2018White anti-racists\u2019 find themselves trapped by endless ambiguities, contradictions, and double binds \u2014 a microcosm of the broader dilemmas of postcolonial societies. These dilemmas are fueled by tension between the twin desires of equality and difference: to make Indigenous people statistically the same as non-Indigenous people (to ‘close the gap’) while simultaneously maintaining their \u2018cultural\u2019 distinctiveness. This tension lies at the heart of failed development efforts in Indigenous communities, ethnic minority populations and the global South. This book explains why doing good is so hard, and how it could be done differently.<\/p>\n

THE LEGACIES OF A HAWAIIAN GENERATION<\/a>
\nFrom Territorial Subject to American Citizen
\nJudith Schachter<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSchachter has written a book that models how anthropologists can be responsible and responsive to indigenous people. [It is] massively researched but exceedingly accessible, ethically and methodologically groundbreaking, and yet humble in its ambition and presentation. This book deserves a wide audience, and will appeal to Hawai\u2018i specialists, as well as scholars of the Pacific and indigeneity. It is also imminently suited to classroom use, if students are ready for ethnographic detail\u2026[and] will leave its own rich legacy for future generations of scholars.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Asia Pacific Viewpoint<\/strong><\/p>\n

The book traces the ways that Hawaiian values adapted to changing conditions under a Territorial regime and then after statehood. These conditions involved claims for land for Native Hawaiian Homesteads, education in American public schools, military service, and participation in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Based on fieldwork observations, kitchen table conversations, and talk-stories, or mo`olelo, this book is a unique blend of biography, history, and anthropological analysis.<\/p>\n

HUNTERS, PREDATORS AND PREY<\/a>
\nInuit Perceptions of Animals
\nFr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Laugrand and Jarich Oosten\u2020<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a beautiful and deeply humbling book whose detailed accounts show the depth, power, and wisdom of a worldview too often dismissed or forgotten. For all scholars of the Arctic and indigenous peoples and of major interest to thoughtful philosophers. Essential.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 the book is excellent. It is a very strong volume, required reading for any scholar of the Arctic or for those whose work focuses on human animal relationships. The information in the book has provided me with insights about animals that I had never actively considered in my own work.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Anthropos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inuit hunting traditions are rich in perceptions, practices and stories relating to animals and human beings. The authors examine key figures such as the raven, an animal that has a central place in Inuit culture as a creator and a trickster, and qupirruit, a category consisting of insects and other small life forms. After these non-social and inedible animals, they discuss the dog, the companion of the hunter, and the fellow hunter, the bear, considered to resemble a human being.<\/p>\n

THE IMBALANCE OF POWER<\/a>
\nLeadership, Masculinity and Wealth in the Amazon
\nMarc Brightman<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amerindian societies have an iconic status in classical political thought. For Montaigne, Hobbes, Locke, Hume and Rousseau, the native American \u2018state of nature\u2019 operates as a foil for the European polity. Challenging this tradition, The Imbalance of Power<\/em> demonstrates ethnographically that the Carib speaking indigenous societies of the Guiana region of Amazonia do not fit conventional characterizations of \u2018simple\u2019 political units with \u2018egalitarian\u2019 political ideologies and \u2018harmonious\u2019 relationships with nature. Marc Brightman builds a persuasive and original theory of Amerindian politics: far from balanced and egalitarian, Carib societies are rife with tension and difference; but this imbalance conditions social dynamism and a distinctive mode of cohesion.<\/p>\n

\"\"INDIGENOUS MEDICINE AMONG THE BEDOUIN IN THE MIDDLE EAST<\/a>
\nAref Abu-Rabia<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modern medicine has penetrated Bedouin tribes in the course of rapid urbanization and education, but when serious illnesses strike, particularly in the case of incurable diseases, even educated people turn to traditional medicine for a remedy. Over the course of 30 years, the author gathered data on traditional Bedouin medicine among pastoral-nomadic, semi-nomadic, and settled tribes. Based on interviews with healers, clients, and other active participants in treatments, this book will contribute to renewed thinking about a synthesis between traditional and modern medicine \u2014 to their reciprocal enrichment.<\/p>\n

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND DEMOGRAPHY<\/a>
\nThe Complex Relation between Identity and Statistics
\nEdited by Per Axelsson and Peter Sk\u00f6ld<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUsing historical and demographical evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies substantially between countries.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 International Journal of Anthropology<\/strong><\/p>\n

When researchers want to study indigenous populations they are dependent upon the highly variable way in which states or territories enumerate, categorise and differentiate indigenous people. In this volume, anthropologists, historians, demographers and sociologists have come together for the first time to examine the historical and contemporary construct of indigenous people in a number of fascinating geographical contexts around the world, including Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and Australia. Using historical and demographical evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies substantially between countries.<\/p>\n

\nEthno-Political Leadership among the Russian S\u00e1mi
\nIndra Overland and Mikkel Berg-Nordlie<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c[These] excellent chapters detail the emergence of cross-border ties between Russia’s S\u00e1mi communities and Nordic S\u00e1mi, and assess their contributions to cultural renewal . . . The socioeconomic and cultural portrait [drawn] will likely seem all too familiar to scholars of other Arctic and subarctic indigenous populations in northern Eurasia, but some of the information is unique to Russia’s S\u00e1mi, making this an indispensable contribution to the documentation of northern peoples. Essential.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The S\u00e1mi are a Northern indigenous people whose land, S\u00e1pmi, covers territory in Finland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. For the Nordic S\u00e1mi, the last decades of the twentieth century saw their indigenous rights partially recognized, a cultural and linguistic revival, and the establishment of S\u00e1mi parliaments. The Russian S\u00e1mi, however, did not have the same opportunities and were isolated behind the closed border until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This book examines the following two decades and the Russian S\u00e1mi\u2019s attempt to achieve a linguistic revival, to mend the Cold War scars, and to establish their own independent ethno-political organizations.<\/p>\n

\"\"MORALITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN RURAL WEST AFRICA<\/a>
\nIndigenous Accumulation in Hausaland
\nPaul Clough<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cClough’s large and data-packed book\u2026 is directly contesting a truism of contemporary economics and politics, that there is only one way to do markets and that Western-style capitalism will and must sweep all other ways of conducting market behavior before it\u2026 One of the most fascinating points that Clough makes is the impact of Islam on labor relations\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Anthropology Review Database<\/strong><\/p>\n

The land, labor, credit, and trading institutions of Marmara village, in Hausaland, northern Nigeria, are detailed in this study through fieldwork conducted in two national economic cycles – the petroleum-boom prosperity (in 1977-1979), and the macro-economic decline (in 1985, 1996 and 1998). The book unveils a new paradigm of economic change in the West African savannah, demonstrating how rural accumulation in a polygynous society actually limits the extent of inequality while at the same time promoting technical change. A uniquely African non-capitalist trajectory of accumulation subordinates the acquisition of capital to the expansion of polygynous families, clientage networks, and circles of trading friends. The whole trajectory is driven by an indigenous ethics of personal responsibility. This model disputes the validity of both Marxian theories of capitalist transformation in Africa and the New Institutional Economics.<\/p>\n

THE 1926\/27 SOVIET POLAR CENSUS EXPEDITIONS<\/a>
\nEdited by David G. Anderson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\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. Highly recommended.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1926\/27 the Soviet Central Statistical Administration initiated several yearlong expeditions to gather primary data on the whereabouts, economy and living conditions of all rural peoples living in the Arctic and sub-Arctic at the end of the Russian civil war. Due partly to the enthusiasm of local geographers and ethnographers, the Polar Census grew into a massive ethnological exercise, gathering not only basic demographic and economic data on every household but also a rich archive of photographs, maps, kinship charts, narrative transcripts and museum artifacts. To this day, it remains one of the most comprehensive surveys of a rural population anywhere. The contributors to this volume \u2013 all noted scholars in their region \u2013 have conducted long-term fieldwork with the descendants of the people surveyed in 1926\/27. This volume is the culmination of eight years\u2019 work with the primary record cards and was supported by a number of national scholarly funding agencies in the UK, Canada and Norway. It is a unique historical, ethnographical analysis and of immense value to scholars familiar with these communities\u2019 contemporary cultural dynamics and legacy.<\/p>\n

MOBILITY AND MIGRATION IN INDIGENOUS AMAZONIA<\/a>
\nContemporary Ethnoecological Perspectives
\nEdited by Miguel N. Alexiades<\/p>\n

Contrary to ingrained academic and public assumptions, wherein indigenous lowland South American societies are viewed as the product of historical emplacement and spatial stasis, there is widespread evidence to suggest that migration and displacement have been the norm, and not the exception. This original and thought-provoking collection of case studies examines some of the ways in which migration, and the concomitant processes of ecological and social change, have shaped and continue to shape human-environment relations in Amazonia. Drawing on a wide range of historical time frames (from pre-conquest times to the present) and ethnographic contexts, different chapters examine the complex and important links between migration and the classification, management, and domestication of plants and landscapes, as well as the incorporation and transformation of environmental knowledge, practices, ideologies and identities.<\/p>\n

THE JU\/\u2019HOAN SAN OF NYAE NYAE AND NAMIBIAN INDEPENDENCE<\/a>
\nDevelopment, Democracy, and Indigenous Voices in Southern Africa
\nMegan Biesele and Robert K. Hitchcock<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ju\/\u2019hoan San, or Ju\/\u2019hoansi, of Namibia and Botswana are perhaps the most fully described indigenous people in all of anthropology. This is the story of how this group of former hunter-gatherers, speaking an exotic click language, formed a grassroots movement that led them to become a dynamic part of the new nation that grew from the ashes of apartheid South West Africa. While coverage of this group in the writings of Richard Lee, Lorna Marshall, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and films by John Marshall includes extensive information on their traditional ways of life, this book continues the story as it has unfolded since 1990. Peopled with accounts of and from contemporary Ju>\/\u2019hoan people, the book gives newly-literate Ju\/\u2019hoansi the chance to address the world with their own voices. In doing so, the images and myths of the Ju\/\u2019hoan and other San (previously called \u201cBushmen\u201d) as either noble savages or helpless victims are discredited. This important book demonstrates the responsiveness of current anthropological advocacy to the aspirations of one of the best-known indigenous societies.<\/p>\n
