Anna M. Kerttula offers a vivid portrayal of life in Sireniki, a Siberian village on the Bering Sea. Once a traditional Yup'ik community, it was by the final years of the Soviet Empire home to three cultural groups: the Yup'ik, native hunters of sea mammals, the Chukchi, nomadic reindeer herders who had been required by the state to turn their animals over to cooperative farms, and Russians of European ancestry enticed to the region by incentive programs designed to colonize the Russian Far East. Kerttula explains that relations among the groups have become tenuous since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the subsequent collapse of the local economy. She maintains that ethnic rivalries, not always expressions of ancient animosities, may be efforts toward mutual understanding during times of economic and social change.
