Promotional Information

This is an original book that many of us will want to use in our teaching and research right away. As the first study of political culture in Nunavut, it is very satisfying that so much information has been gathered and analysed. It will be of great interest to residents and students of Nunavut, and will certainly be used by the larger community of scholars interested in territorial political development, Indigenous governance, and the relationship of political and institutional change in general. -- Frances Abele, School of Public Policy and Administration, Carleton University, and former Deputy Director of Research for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples

Reviews

This is a pioneer text tracing the shaping of a new political entity. It will be a useful source of material on indigenous governance. Lawyers working in the field of aboriginal affairs will find it to be a guideline for them in Inuit to Non Inuit relations.
*Barrister, Issue 87*

Ailsa Henderson’s Nunavut: Rethinking Political Culture is an exemplary work asking the question of how well a population with set attitudes and behaviours copes with having institutions foisted upon them over a short period of time. […] The author makes a convincing case that the mismatch of institutions and political culture continues to have ramifications for the peoples and governance of Nunavut. […] For those interested in the political life of Canada’s Arctic population, decentralisation, and the interconnectedness of institutional design and political behavior, Ailsa Henderson’s Nunavut: Rethinking Political Culture is a worthy addition to the bookshelf.
*British Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 21.2, Autumn 2008*

This is a pioneer text on the shaping of political life in Nunavut as a new political entity. It will be a useful source of material on indigenous self-governance. Lawyers working in the field of aboriginal affairs will be pleased on the commentary provided on Inuit and non-Inuit relations.
*Verdict, Issue 116*
