About this book
Reviews
“This book combines ... rich ethnography of Murik men with innovative theory, deploying Bakhtin and Lacan. Anchored in decades of research ...it constructs a dialogue ... articulating men’s dual alienation from indigenous and postcolonial masculinities. Analyzing scintillating stories, ... quotidian conversations and theatrical performances, Lipset offers a compelling culmination to his distinctive corpus on Murik masculinities and modernities.” (Margaret Jolly, the Australian National University, Australia)
“[T]his remarkable book point[s] the way toward a vital new phase of ethnographic writing on the painfully liminal situations of many indigenous people in a runaway world.” (Andrew Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart, University of Pittsburgh, USA)
