Review Quotes
Michael E. Harkin, University of Wyoming
“Aaron Glass explores the multifaceted history of the Hamatša dance from an intercultural, intertextual viewpoint, demonstrating how it has circulated in various contexts for more than a century. This extraordinary work is fundamentally an ethnography of anthropology itself.”
Marie Mauzé, Laboratoire d’anthropologie sociale, Collège de France
“Writing the Hamatša incorporates probably every single text ever published on what is famously known as the Cannibal Dance. This is one of the best contributions to Northwest Coast anthropology, to the history of anthropology, and to Franz Boas’s rendition of ethnographic data available today.”
