"The edited work contains one of the most interesting sets of
northern papers to appear in a very long time . . . each paper is
excellent . . . this book will hopefully provoke considerable
thought. . . . This is a work that should be discussed in terms of
the particulars of the various papers, but also for the overview it
provides." - Polar Record In the last two decades, there has been
an increased awareness of the traditions and issues that link
aboriginal people across the circumpolar North. One of the key
aspects of the lives of circumpolar peoples, be they in
Scandinavia, Alaska, Russia, or Canada, is their relationship to
the wild animals that support them. Although divided for most of
the 20th Century by various national trading blocks, and the Cold
War, aboriginal people in each region share common stories about
the various capitalist and socialist states that claimed control
over their lands and animals. Now, aboriginal peoples throughout
the region are reclaiming their rights. This volume is the first to
give a well-rounded portrait of wildlife management, aboriginal
rights, and politics in the circumpolar north. The book reveals
unexpected continuities between socialist and capitalist ecological
styles, as well as addressing the problems facing a new era of
cultural exchanges between aboriginal peoples in each region. David
G. Anderson is Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of
Aberdeen. Mark Nuttall is Professor of Social Anthropology at the
University of Aberdeen.
