The feel-good place to buy books
Strangers to Relatives by Sergei A Kan
Presents an intimate look at the typical but often misunderstood practice of adoption and naming of anthropologists by Native families and communities. Leading anthropologists in the United States and Canada discuss this issue by focusing on the cases of such prominent earlier scholars as Lewis Henry Morgan and Franz Boas.
“Each of these honest and significant papers adds much to accounts of fieldwork experiences, confronting the historical and contemporary contours of the state of the discipline via adoption processes. . . This important book furthers understanding of Indian-white relations in a fashion that humanizes both Indians and anthropologists.”—Choice
Sergei Kan is a professor of anthropology and Native American studies at Dartmouth College. His books include Memory Eternal: Tlingit Culture and Russian Orthodox Christianity through Two Centuries.
