This was a 4-star book for me up until the last passages dealing with the trio of Inuit people taken from their home and paraded around Bristol and London. Their story is so heartbreaking and it was written so carefully and emotively that I really felt it cemented what this book is really about. It's packed with fascinating and often awful tales of cultural transmission, but it's clear the author cares about what they're writing about and how they are expressing it.
