Peripheral Participation and the Kwakiutl Potlatch.
Wolcott, Harry F.
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v27 n4 p467-92 Dec 1996
A 25-year association with the Kwakiutl led to an invitation in 1987 to a Kwakiutl memorial potlatch in British Columbia (Canada). Jean Lave's concept of peripheral participation is used as a framework for examining how humans find their "way in" to such cultural events. (Author/MMU)
