Product Description

Book Description

Change in arctic populations has not been a sudden phenomenon, but rather a gradual process that has occurred over a number of generations. In this longitudinal case study, McElroy introduces readers to four Baffin Island communities in the eastern Canadian Arctic and focuses on the challenges and hardships they face in transition from hunting-gathering lifestyles to wage employment and political participation in towns. Through long-term fieldwork, historical material, and life histories collected from elders, Nunavut Generations richly illustrates political and ecological change alongside native stability and self-determination.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nunavut Generations: Change and Continuity in Canadian Inuit Communities (Paperback)

There are too few books about Nunavut, or at least, as informative and comprehensive as this one. McElroy really gives an in-depth look at the evolution of Nunavut and how things have developped since WWII. Furthermore, she explores and studies the sociological effects of the modernization of the culture which have caused some good, and some strains, on the people and their culture.

A+
