Product Review
"A unique, sparkling piece of work that should attract wide attention."--Anthony Woodbury, University of Texas, Austin
"Hensel is a superb linguistic anthropologist.It's definitely a significant contribution to the field."--William J. de Reuse, University of Arizona
Book Description
In this book, Chase Hensel looks at how Yup'ik Eskimos and non-natives construct and maintain gender and ethnic identities through strategic talk about hunting, fishing, and processing. Although ethnicity is overtly constructed in terms of either/or categories, the discourse of Bethel residents suggests that their actual concern is less with whether one is native or non-native, than with how native one is in a given context. In the interweaving of subsistence practices and subsistence discourse, ethnicity is constantly recreated.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Gifting God: A Trinitarian Ethics of Excess (Oxford studies in anthropological linguistics) (Hardcover)
truth is revealed in this book and you will love it. webb's writing style can be difficult to follow but push on and don't be discouraged. he says things that need to be heard and understood. very heady stuff. our world is trapped in a horrific phase of wealth-worship and love of money. jesus provided the formula to break this cycle but the magic wasn't truly appreciated. webb helps expalin it. you will love it and grow if you push through this very intellectual but magnificent treatise. god bless you.
