Title: The predicament of Chukotka's indigenous movement
Description: "The Predicament of Chukotka's Indigenous Movement is the first ethnography of the Russian North to focus on post-Soviet relations of domination between an indigenous minority and a nonindigenous majority in an urban setting. As Patty Gray investigates indigenous attempts in Chukotka to overcome this domination, she develops an anthropological approach to social movements that captures the "in-between" that is more than everyday resistance, but less than a full-blown movement. In the process, this book explores the post-Soviet transition as it occurred in the part of Russia that is America's closest Eurasian neighbor: Chukotka nearly touches Alaska across the Bering Strait."--BOOK JACKET
