Eskimo Essays: Yup'Ik Lives And How We See Them,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Eskimo Essays introduces the reader to important aspects of the ideology and practice of the Yupik Eskimos of western Alaska, past and present. The essays point the way toward a fuller recognition of how Yupik Eskimos differ from the popular Western image of the Eskimo that was born largely without reference to Yupik reality. By describing the reality of Yupik life, Eskimo Essays extends our understanding of Esimos in general and Yupik Eskimos in particular.Ann FienupRiordan argues that Western observers have simultaneously naturalized Eskimos as paragons of simplicity and virtue and Western imperialism. This process has often ignored Eskimo concepts of society, history, and personhood. An original assumption of similarity to Western society has profoundly affected the current EuroAmerican view of Eskimo history and action. Nonnatives have taken an idealized Western individual, dressed that person up in polar garb, and then assumed they understood the garments maker. The result is a presentation of Eskimo society that often tells us more about the meaning we seek in our own. Moreover, modern Eskimos have risen to the challenge and to some extent become what we have made them.Bridging the gap between informed scholarships and popular concepts, FienupRiordan provides a compelling and fresh presentation of Yupik lifecosmology, the missionary experience, attitudes toward conservation, Eskimo art, the legal system, warfare, and ceremonies.
