"Inuit Stories is engaging and easy to read and can be recommended
to the interested public but also to scholars for its important
contribution to anthropological theory. Saladin d'Anglure explains
how Inuit oral tradition blurs boundaries between opposing worlds
such as male/female, human/ animal, and death/life."--Alaska
Journal of Anthropology
"The new English edition of Inuit Stories of Being and Rebirth:
Gender, Shamanism, and the Third Sex--translated from the French by
Peter Frost--is a major accomplishment. This is one of the great
classics of humanities and social science research in the Canadian
Arctic."--Marianne Stenbaek "Canadian Literature"
