Eskimo Boyhood:An Autobiography in Psychosocial Perspective

Description

Here is a unique view of life as experienced by a young Eskimo.
The autobiography was written by a youth in his early twenties who relates the details of his boyhood life| recalling the feelings accompanying his experiences.
In addition to allowing Nathan simply to relate his story thereby illustrating the uniqueness of an individual life| Mr ..Hughes sets the autobiography in a broader context| which illustrates the major trends in sociocultural changes in a small and isolated corner of the world.
Not only were different answers required in this new evolving world| but different questions were being asked-not how to hunt| but whether to hunt.
Not how to train the body| but for what? It is in this kind of world that we see the struggles| the defeats| and the victories of a boy seeking to find his identity and place in life.
