Summary:In contrast to he Euro-American art world and many fourth world societies, women have attained a remarkable place as leaders in the emerging Inuit art movement. The author examines this female preponderance in t rms of artistic genius, economics, self-determination, traditional decision-making and southern marketing techniques. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies IX, 2 (1989):293-315. Par opposition à l'art euro-américain et à l'art de beaucoup de pays sous-développés, les femmes sont parvenues à un stade remarquable comme guides dans le mouvement de l'art Inuit qui est encore en voie de dévelop-pement. L'auteur étudie c tte prépondérance féminine sur le plan du génie artistique, de l'économie, de l'autodétermination, de la résolution tradition-nelle et des techniques d commercialisation méridionales. 294 Janet Catherine Berlo
