Drums of Diomede: The Transformation of the Alaskan Eskimo by Arthur Hansin Eide is a non-fiction book that explores the cultural transformation of the Alaskan Eskimo people. The book is set in the early 20th century, when the Eskimo way of life was rapidly changing due to the influence of Western culture.The author, who spent many years living among the Eskimo people, provides a detailed account of their traditional way of life and how it was affected by the arrival of outsiders. He describes the impact of Christianity, the introduction of modern technology, and the changing economic landscape on the Eskimo people.Through interviews with elders and other members of the community, Eide provides a unique perspective on the transformation of the Alaskan Eskimo culture. He also explores the role of music and dance in Eskimo culture, particularly the significance of the drums of Diomede.Overall, Drums of Diomede is a fascinating and insightful look at the cultural transformation of the Alaskan Eskimo people. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Alaska and its indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
