Book excerpt: Shamanism has always been of great interest to anthropologists. More recently it has been "discovered" by westerners, especially New Age followers. This book breaks new ground byexamining pristine shamanism in Greenland, among people contacted late by Western missionaries and settlers. On the basis of material only available in Danish, and presented herein English for the first time, the author questions Mircea Eliade's well-known definition of the shaman as the master of ecstasy and suggests that his role has to be seen as that of a master of spirits. The ambivalent nature of the shaman and the spirit world in the tough Arctic environment is then contrasted with the more benign attitude to shamanism in the New Age movement. After presenting descriptions of their organizations and accounts by participants, the author critically analyses the role of neo-shamanic courses and concludes that it is doubtful to consider what isoffered as shamanism.

Download or read book Northwest Greenland written by Richard Vaughan and published by Orono, Me., U.S.A. : University of Maine Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Northwest Greenland, Richard Vaughan narrates for the first time the little-known history of Avanersuaq, "the place in the farthest north." This small strip on the northwestern coast of Greenland has supported the most northerly human settlement on the globe, and remains one of the last frontiers on earth. Its geography - an arid, desolate sheet of ice on one side, and the sea on the other - has isolated the land and its few inhabitants from the pressures for change experienced in other parts of the world." "In the nineteenth century, explorers were not looking for Avanersuaq: they were en route to other goals - whale hunts off the Canadian coast, the search for the Northwest Passage, or for the missing explorer John Franklin. It is not until Robert Peary's appearance in 1891 that Northwest Greenland becomes a focal point for exploration, anthropological study, and the development of the region's resources." "Vaughan discusses all these topics, and provides information on the quest for Cape York meteorites in the late 1800s, scientific interest in the local Eskimos - the Inuhuit, as they call themselves - and Peary's expeditions across the Inland Ice sheet." "Cultural histories usually give only cursory attention to the environment, but Vaughan integrates the people and their habitat as inextricably as they are linked in nature. Early explorers found in Avanersuaq a strange mixture of ice, desert and rock, with surprising pockets of vegetation, and wildlife that ranged from the narwhal and polar bear to the small dovekie, or little auk. The Inuhuit, they found, used their scarce resources wisely, with a lifestyle that centered on nomadic hunting." "Vaughan takes a careful look at the changes exploration and settlement brought to Avanersuaq and its people, from the prehistoric, subsistence lifestyle of the Inuhuit, to the Danish colonization of northern Greenland in the twentieth century. The construction of Thule Air Base in the 1950s is also given prominent attention. Indeed, Americans bulk large in these pages, which describe the expeditions of Elisha Kent Kane, Isaac Hayes, and Charles F. Hall, as well as Peary's."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
