When Worlds Collide - Hunter gatherer World system Change in the 19th Century Canadian

Informationen zum Autor T. Max Friesen is a professor of archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. He has performed fieldwork in the Arctic for more than twenty years. He is the co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Arctic Archaeology and has contributed widely to books and journals. Klappentext Presents a new model for discerning interaction networks based on the archaeological record, and then applies the model to long-term change in an Arctic society. Max Friesen has adapted and expanded world-system theory in order to develop a model that explains how hunter-gatherer interaction networks are structured - and why they change. He has used the model to better understand the development of Inuvialuit society in the western Canadian Arctic over a 500-year span. Zusammenfassung The Inuvialuit region is the most under-reported and least-known portion of the North American Arctic! beyond its immediate community of anthropological/archaeological practitioners! and this book helps address that lacuna.
