Críticas:

Cameron's Far Off Metal River is a masterful and carefully written book that addresses pressing theoretical and methodological questions for postcolonial studies, nature-society relations, and Indigenous geographies ... It is a timely example of a non-Indigenous researcher centering the agency of Indigenous peoples in both research practice and writing ... [This book] is a particularly important resource for students who are learning to engage with Indigenous epistemologies, ontologies, and methodologies in both the field and in the classroom ... But it would be a mistake to read Far Off Metal River as valuable to researchers of Indigenous communities and histories alone ... it has much to teach us about research in general. -- Kelsey Johnson, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia * Society + Space * Stories-"theirs" and "ours"-have been staples in core curricula that incorporate the critical study of cultures deemed "Non-Western." Anyone tasked with teaching such courses must read this book by Cameron, who emphasizes that stories are value-charged and multidimensional ... Highly recommended. -- J.S. Krysiek * Choice *

Reseña del editor:

This book will appeal to anyone interested in the Arctic, particularly scholars and students in the fields of Indigenous studies, northern studies, Canadian studies, human geography, anthropology, and history.
