3.0 out of 5 stars ???, June 24, 2007
What would I know? I was assigned the book for an athropology course once taken. Got an easy A and yet I never took a single peak. Too many other textbooks to read, and for the same course. Too many notes. Too much popcorn information about vapid details about emics and etics, development and underdevelopment, colonialism and imperialism, which come to think of was benevolence compared to central planning and state capitalism. Too occupied with other interests. Anyway, from the way the teacher was going on about it, sounded like just another environmentalist, lefty whacko book blaming European and American colonialism for all the evils of the world and whining about deforestation. Propaganda forsan ad Sandinistas istos apta? Never met the Peten, so their valuation of things, how would I know?
