Jean Malaurie's "Hummocks" is a remarkably rich and complex work...This book is a probing analysis of the material and social realities of Inuit life in the Canadian Eastern Arctic in the mid-20th century. It is also a captivating reflexive ethnography and personal narrative of field research experience by a distinguished scholar ho knows the terrain intimately...Malaurie deftly engages the reader in a conversation about who the Inuit were in the past, who they are now (as of the 1960s), and where they might be heading as a people in the future..."Hummocks" challenges and informs simultaneously on multiple levels. Malaurie's lively first-person, present-tense style captured my attention on the first page. I rarely encounter a scholarly book that I am compelled to read straight through cover to cover. This was one of them. - Robert Jarvenpa, Anthropos
