Product Overview,
This review is from: Hegemony and Culture: Politics and Change among the Yoruba (Paperback)
The product I received was in excellent condition as stated. It came in a plastic wrapping which helped perserve the book. My only concern is I didn't recieve the book in the timeframe I anticipated. Luckily my class didn't call for the book early in the semester so it hasn't interfered with my class.
