Reviews
The book is well written and carefully argued. Nadasdy draws effectively on the seminal ethnography and ethnological work of the Penn Boasians: Frank Speck, A.I. Hallowell, and their many informal students, and his own ethnographic observations are revealing and apt. -- David Dinwoodie, University of New Mexico Western Historical Quarterly, Summer 2005 At first blush, it seems a very long reach from the aboriginal hunting camps of the Kluane in Canada's Yukon wilderness to the poststructuralist environs of modern French philosophy. Yet careful reading of Paul Nadasdy's prodigal new work of contemporary ethnography reveals that geographically, culturally, and philosophically the distance involved is much less than might be expected. -- William Hipwell, Department of Geography, Kyungpook National University, South Korea Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy, Spring 2005
