The late Richard Slobodin was one of the great anthropologists of the First Nations of the Canadian North, immensely liked and respected by his peers. For this memorial volume, editor Preston (History, McMaster University) has assembled essays that assess Slobodin's life and work, with topics including Slobodin's formative thinking about human nature and human identities; his example of living a moral, intellectual life; his discernment of people's ability to make informed choices and actions; his freedom from ideological fashions; his writings about the Mackenzie District Metis; his determination to take peoples' experience seriously, not metaphorically; and his thinking about social organization and kinship. Slobodin himself is present via a previously unpublished account of a 1938 caribou hunt in which he participated. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
