{"product_id":"coming-to-shore-marie-mauze-9780803282964","title":"Coming to Shore: Northwest Coast Ethnology, Traditions, and Visions","description":"The Northwest Coast of North America was home to dozens of Native peoples at the time of its first contact with Europeans. The rich artistic, ceremonial, and oral traditions of these peoples and their preservation of cultural practices have made this region especially attractive for anthropological study. \u003ci\u003eComing to Shore\u003c\/i\u003e provides a historical overview of the ethnology and ethnohistory of this region, with special attention given to contemporary, theoretically informed studies of communities and issues. \u003cp\u003eThe first book to explore the role of the Northwest Coast in three distinct national traditions of anthropology-- American, Canadian, and French--\u003ci\u003eComing to Shore\u003c\/i\u003e gives particular consideration to the importance of Claude Lévi-Strauss and structuralism, as well as more recent social theory in the context of Northwest Coast anthropology. In addition contributors explore the blurring boundaries between theoretical and applied anthropology as well as contemporary issues such as land claims, criminal justice, environmentalism, economic development, and museum display. The contribution of Frederica de Laguna provides a historical background to the enterprise of Northwest Coast anthropology, as do the contributions of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Marie Mauzé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Mauze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803282966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803282964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.09d","brand":"Marie Mauze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46216965718271,"sku":"9780803282964","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0faa1a77-d814-4903-ac50-003f3f54a4d3.jpg?v=1728513883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coming-to-shore-marie-mauze-9780803282964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
