The escalating political, economic, and cultural colonization of
indigenous peoples over the past few centuries has spawned a
multitude of revitalization movements. These movements promise
liberation from domination by outsiders and incorporate and rework
elements of traditional culture. Reassessing Revitalization
Movements is the first book to discuss and compare in detail the
origins, structure, and development of religious and political
revitalization movements in North America and the Pacific Islands
(known as Oceania). The essays cover the twentieth-century Cargo
Cults of the South Pacific, the 1870 and 1890 Ghost Dance movements
in western North America, the Tuka Movement on Fiji in 1885, as
well as the revitalistic aspects of contemporary social movements
in North American and Oceania. Reassessing Revitalization Movements
takes Anthony F. C. Wallace's concept of revitalization movements
and examines the applicability of the model to a variety of
religious and anticolonial movements in North America and the
Pacific Islands. This extension of the revitalization movement
model beyond its traditional territory in Native anthropology
enriches our understanding of movements outside of North America
and offers a holistic view of them that embraces phenomena ranging
from the psychic to the ecological. This cross-cultural approach
provides the most stimulating and broadly applicable treatment of
the topic in decades. Michael E. Harkin is a professor of
anthropology at the University of Wyoming. He is the author of The
Heiltsuks: Dialogues of History and Culture on the Northwest Coast
(Nebraska 1997).
