About This Item
Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1997. Softcover. Good. 6x0x9. Margin notes to one page, else in Very Good condition. An overview of the Eskimo culture of Northern Alaska that the author found while he was doing his fieldwork in the region from 1958-1962. Chance spent the majority of his study time in Barrow, Kaktovik, and Wainwright, Alaska. One of his main projects was to study the degree of contact the Eskimos had had with Western culture, and how this was affecting their emotional well-being. Due to the nature of this study, much of this ethnography centers on the comparison between customs in the past and customs in the present, and on identifying factors that might be responsible for change.The book includes material on the population and environment, child rearing, economic life in the past and in the present (1960s, that is), family and village structure, authority and politics, cultural values, and religious beliefs.
