  • The Innocent Anthropologist
    • Rated 4 stars

    Funny, on the verge to offensive. But somehow Nigel Barley manages to display alot of humor - on behalf of "the other" - when writing about his field work experience in Cameroon!
    I can't but wonder, why do Europeans who want to "better" Africa seem so lost?

    By far my best read. It's about so many things, but if should try and boil it down: it's about racism as an obstacle to individual Identity.

    These are not just words; his poetry makes you want to kill your self just so that you can be reborn. Every poem needs to be rereread to be understood. No, his poetry is not difficult to read, not really, only the meaning of it is hard to take in. How ugly is the beauty of life!

    Steven D. Levitt is using statistics to prove all kinds of shit. Like why crack-dealers stay with their moms, and why sumo wrestlers and teachers cheat... Sounds realy great! But does he deliver? No, not really, still it's a trip!
