Anthropology of the North Pacific Rim

by William W. Fitzhugh (Editor), Valérie Chaussonnet

Investigating the anthropology, history, and art of the North Pacific rim from a comparative, trans-Beringian perspective, the essays in this book demonstrate that this region, often thought to be an icy, fog-bound vastness at the end of the world, more resembles an arctic Mediterranean, rich in material resources and cultural diversity.
