""Soul Hunters "combines intimate ethnographic knowledge of
Yukaghir hunting practices with sophisticated phenomenological
analysis and an impressive comparative range. The book critiques
and revivifies familiar concepts and interpretive traditions, most
notably 'animism' and 'shamanism.' It contains many original
comparative arguments and analyses, and the ethnographic examples
are always lucidly described. A remarkable book."--James Clifford,
author "The Predicament of Culture"
""Soul Hunters" is a detailed and theoretically original
ethnography which will make an important contribution to the
anthropology of Siberia and hunter-gatherers more
generally."--Nikolai V. Ssorin-Chaikov, author of "The Social Life
of the State in Subarctic Siberia"
""Soul Hunters "makes a highly original contribution to Yukaghir
ethnography, as well as to theoretical discussions about the nature
of spiritual knowledge. The work will provide the starting point
for several future debates in contemporary anthropology."--Peter
Schweitzer, co-editor of "Hunters and Gatherers in the Modern
World: Conflict, Resistance, and Self-Determination"
