"Readers can benefit from exposure to a cross-grained critic, especially one who write well and accessibly as Washburn does." -- ChoiceWashburn critically examines key anthropological beliefs, especially the importance of cultural relativism and Western colonialism's harmful effects on Third World cultures.
