Abstract

Jennifer Brown, an anthropologist, brings her considerable analytical abilities and her innovative interdisciplinary approach to the study of the fur trade in Strangers in Blood, a revision of her dissertation. She has given us a preview of the book in earlier articles that have contributed significantly to that growing field of scholarship, which views the fur trade as an institutional mechanism for creating a distinct "socio-cultural complex," to use John Foster's term. Strangers in Blood is a landmark publication, for it is the first book length work in a specialization which the author has helped define.
