Senses of Place
Steven Feld, Keith H. Basso
The complex relationship of people to places has come under
increasing scholarly scrutiny in recent years as acute global conditions
of exile, displacement, and inflamed borders - to say nothing of
struggles by indigenous peoples and cultural minorities for ancestral
homelands, land rights, and retention of sacred places - have brought
the political question of place into sharp focus.But to date, little
attention has been paid to the ethnography of place, to how people
actually live in, perceive, and invest with meaning the places they call
home.
In this compelling new volume, eight respected ethnographers explore and lyrically evoke the ways in which people experience,
express, imagine, and know the places in which they live. Case studies
range from the Apaches of Arizona's White Mountains to the residents of
backwoods hollers in Appalachia and the Kaluli people of Papua New
Guinea's rainforests. As these writers confront the dilemmas and
possibilities of an anthropological consideration of place, they make an
important and moving contribution to our understanding of ourselves.
