Review Quotes: "Ferguson's vibrant ethnography offers a multifaceted view of contemporary Sakha cultural and linguistic practices, blending analyses of syncretism and language revitalization with explorations of place, movement, and belief to capture speakers' complex understandings of what it means to be Sakha."--J. A. Dickinson, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Vermont-- (3/5/2018 12:00:00 AM)
