THIS WIDE-RANGING TREATMENT OF DAILY LIFE IN THE CONTEMPORARY INUIT
COMMUNITIES OF ALASKA, CANADA, AND GREENLAND REVEALS THE VERY MODERN
WAYS OF BEING INUIT.
_Daily Life of the Inuit_ is the first serious study of contemporary
Inuit culture and communities from the post-World War II period to the
present. Beginning with an introductory essay surveying Inuit
prehistory, geography, and contemporary regional diversity, this
exhaustive treatment explores the daily life of the Inuit throughout
the North American Arctic—in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland.
Twelve thematic chapters acquaint the reader with the daily life of
the contemporary Inuit, examining family, intellectual culture,
economy, community, politics, technology, religion, popular culture,
art, sports and recreation, health, and international engagement. Each
chapter begins with a discussion of the historical and cultural
underpinnings of Inuit life in the North American Arctic and describes
the issues and events relevant to the contemporary Inuit experience.
Leading sources are quoted to provide analysis and perspective on the
facts presented.
