Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Interactions between societies are among the most powerful forces in human history. However, because they are difficult to reconstruct from archaeological data, they have often been overlooked and understudied by archaeologists. This is particularly true for huntergatherer societies, which are frequently seen as adapting to local conditions rather than developing in the context of largescale networks. When Worlds Collide presents a new model for discerning interaction networks based on the archaeological record, and then applies the model to longterm change in an Arctic society.Max Friesen has adapted and expanded worldsystem theory in order to develop a model that explains how huntergatherer interaction networks, or worldsystems, are structuredand why they change. He has utilized this model to better understand the development of Inuvialuit society in the western Canadian Arctic over a 500year span, from the precontact period to the early twentieth century.As Friesen combines local archaeological data with more extensive ethnographic and archaeological evidence from the surrounding region, a picture emerges of a dynamic Inuvialuit worldsystem characterized by bounded territories, trade, warfare, and other forms of interaction. This worldsystem gradually intensified as the impacts of Euroamerican colonial activities increased. This intensification, Friesen suggests, was based on preexisting Inuvialuit social and economic structures rather than on patterns imposed from outside. Ultimately, this intense interacting network collapsed near the end of the nineteenth century. When Worlds Collide offers a new way to comprehend smallscale worldsystems from the point of view of indigenous people. Its approach will prove valuable for understanding huntergatherer societies around the globe.
