Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover, xii + 242 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear. Book is clean, bright, untanned; unmarked text, no inscriptions, no stamps, firm binding. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A comparative study that challenges the traditional "scientific" or ecological explanations of hunt…er-gatherer social structures. David Riches proposes a "humanistic" or emic approach, arguing that social and cultural forms in these societies are the result of conscious human decision-making and native perceptions rather than purely environmental pressures. The book's central premise is that the social organisation of Arctic and sub-arctic peoples should be understood through the lens of the actors' own goals and strategies. Critique of Ecological Primacy: Riches critiques previous scholars for over-relying on ecological factors (like food scarcity or climate) to explain group size and movement. Decision-Making: The text emphasizes the "plausible" decision-making processes of individuals, suggesting that even in extreme environments, social forms are shaped by human agency. The study draws on data from various nomadic groups across the Arctic and sub-arctic regions: - Inuit Societies: Riches uses the Iglulik Inuit as a primary "exemplar" society to test his theories on social structure. - Indian Societies: The book also considers the social and territorial organisation of various Northern Indian (Athapaskan and Algonquian) groups. Key chapters address the determinants of group size, the nature of leadership, and the "extinct" or historical nature of these traditional societies. -- Contents: 1.
