| Reassessing Revitalization Movements Reassessing Revitalization Movements takes Anthony F. C. Wallace's concept of revitalization movements and examines the applicability of the model to a variety of religious and anticolonial movements in North America and the Pacific Islands. This extension of the revitalization movement model beyond its traditional territory in Native anthropology enriches our understanding of movements outside of North America and offers a holistic view of them that embraces phenomena ranging from the psychic to the ecological. This cross-cultural approach provides the most stimulating and broadly applicable treatment of the topic in decades. Michael E. Harkin is a professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming. He is the author of The Heiltsuks: Dialogues of History and Culture on the Northwest Coast (Nebraska 1997). |
