Trail of the Hare

In this second edition of his classic work, Joel Savishinsky expands and updates his highly acclaimed study of mobility and stress in the sub-arctic dwelling native community of the Hare. Since the publication of the first edition, the Hare have faced new challenges posed by clashes of the aboriginal with the contemporary in the spheres of ecology, culture and politics--from rising ethnic and political awareness as a "Fourth World" community to cultural disagreements of this semi-nomadic hunting people with animal activists. This volume reframes the context of Savishinsky's original conclusions on human-animal relations, environmentalism and native-white encounters to accomodate these new developments as well as current trends in anthropology itself.
