{"product_id":"the-fifth-world-of-forster-vincent-crapanzano-9780803264311","title":"The Fifth World of Forster Bennett: Portrait of a Navajo","description":"It is told that the ancestors of the Navajos journeyed through four worlds to reach the fifth, or present, one. The pressing complexities and underlying wonder of their fifth world of modern reservation life are portrayed in this classic ethnographic account by Vincent Crapanzano. As a young, inexperienced anthropologist, Crapanzano spent a summer with a Navajo man he calls Forster Bennett. In his fifties, Bennett was raised during the early reservation years, fought in the South Pacific in the Second World War, and, like many, carried a deep but not always openly expressed resentment toward whites. Crapanzano's honest and gritty account of his time with Bennett and Bennett's community reveals a stark portrait of the \"flat, slow quality of reservation life,\" where boredom and poverty coexist with age-old sacred rituals and the varying ways that Navajos react and adjust to changes in their culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent Crapanzano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803264313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803264311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.30w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 15","brand":"Vincent Crapanzano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947203887359,"sku":"9780803264311","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d216e810-9131-418c-b5f0-8e2f156351b9.jpg?v=1681517339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fifth-world-of-forster-vincent-crapanzano-9780803264311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
