Description

A richly detailed book that brings in combination as complete a record of traditional Yup’ik rules and rituals as is conceivable within the past due 20th century. Incorporating elders’ recollections of the system of dominated boundaries and formality passages that guided their parents and grandparents a century ago, Fienup-Riordan brings into focal point the complex, creative Yup’ik world view expressed by ceremonial exchanges and the cycling of names, gifts, and persons which continues to form day-to-day life in communities along the Bering Sea coast. Her analysis is illustrated with many up to date and historical photographs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
