Culture, Power, Place Anthropology has traditionally relied on a spatially localized society or culture as its object of study. The essays in Culture, Power, Place demonstrate how in recent years this anthropological convention anthropology atlantic culture maritime north world and its attendant assumptions about identity anthropology atlantic culture maritime north world and cultural difference have undergone a series of important challenges.
