Inuit Women is the definitive study of the Inuit during a time of
rapid change. Based on fourteen years of research and fieldwork,
this analysis focuses on the challenges facing Inuit women as they
enter the twenty-first century. Written shortly after the creation
of Nunavut, a new province carved out of traditional Inuit
homelands in the Canadian North, this compelling book combines
conclusions drawn from the authors' ethnographic research with the
stories of Inuit women and men, told in their own words. In
addition to their presentation of the personal portraits and voices
of many Inuit respondents, Janet Mancini Billson and Kyra Mancini
explore global issues: the impact of rapid social change and
Canadian resettlement policy on Inuit culture; women's roles in
society; and gender relations in Baffin Island, in the Eastern
Arctic. They also include an extensive section on how the newly
created territory of Nunavut is impacting the lives of Inuit women
and their families. Working from a research approach grounded in
feminist theory, the authors involve their Inuit interviewees as
full participants in the process. This book stands alone in its
attention to Inuit women's issues and lives and should be read by
everyone interested in gender relations, development,
modernization, globalization, and Inuit culture.
