Their stories are framed by the an analytic history of regional changes, together with current anthropological theory on the nature of cultural change and the formation of cultural identity. The book presents a subtle and emotionally moving account of the region and the roles of two men, both of whom view issues from a Catholic perspective yet are closely attuned to and involved with changes in the Yup'ik community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Fienup-Riordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602231613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602231610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Ann Fienup-Riordan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449781956863,"sku":"9781602231610","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8ceb89f-cc48-46da-9e70-dd4f35539ace.jpg?v=1777264883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mission-of-change-in-southwest-ann-fienup-riordan-9781602231610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
