Book Reviews of The Last Light Breaking: Living Among Alaska's Inupiat Eskimos

Book Review: Not a traditional Ethnography, but still amazing
Summary: 5 Stars

While it isn't a traditional ethnography, Jans still gives some amazing insight into the lives of the Inupiat. His descriptions are colorful and entertaining while still giving a sense of the seriousness of the intrusion of mining and modern culture on the traditional subsistence of the Inupiat. There is a degree of fear as to what will happen to them as society marches onward into the remote regions of Alaska and provides a sense of urgency of protection for these people.

If you are remotely interested in what life is like above the arctic circle, get this book. Don't think about it, just get it.
