商品簡介
A study of the disruption of an indigenous American culture caused by the incursion of the capitalist world system. After a look at the operation of the capitalist system in material, social, and ideological terms, the study details what is known about the Qikertarmiut population on Kodiak Island based on archaeological evidence of conflict between natives and Russian fur traders in the 1780s. Provides a fresh perspective on history and archaeology of the North American fur trade, and suggests that cultural change was a two- way process that transformed both colonizing and indigenous populations. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
