The Heartland Chronicles

Contemporary Ethnography

by Douglas E. Foley

A complex portrayal of the double structuring of the perceptions people have on opposite sides of a cultural border. Like most Native Americans, the Mesquakis have survived numerous popular and academic misrepresentations of their culture.

[Ryan Fischer]

A very subjective work of ethnography that tells us personal story and exists in a very ambivalent state with the postmodern turn. It's very interesting to read for all of those reasons, but feels a little paternalistic from a 2020s point of view.
