Building a new biocultural synthesis
Hard to talk about this book, because i will need to dig into it pretty extensively for my thesis work. i'll keep my commentary here to just a couple of points. the writing and thinking are lucid and interesting. i find the research and line of inquiry to be outdated; although the book was written in the early 90s, much of the bibliography dates back into the 60s and earlier. the notions of indigenous people that nolan works from are not, to my eye, grounded in the realities of indigenous life so much as they are grounded in the ways that academia (read: educated white men) see native americans.
