Culture Incarnate: Native Anthropology from Russia

Cover
Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer
M.E. Sharpe, 1995 - 270 Seiten
As old national boundaries erode and political uncertainty and ethnic assertion emerge, new voices of anthropologists and ethnographers studying their own cultures have begun to be heard more clearly. This collection focuses on the former Soviet Union, where non-Russian academics are studying their people's ethnography, folklore, rituals, languages, ethnic conflicts, and other areas.
