Beyond Culture Hall Edward T.Paperback
From a renowned American anthropologist comes a proud celebration of human capacities. Humankind must now embark on the difficult journey beyond culture, to the discovery of a lost self a sense of perspective. For too long, people have taken their own ways of life for granted, ignoring the vast, international cultural community that srrounds them.
With concrete examples ranging from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake to the mating habits of the bowerbird of New Guinea, Hall shows us ourselves. By holding up a mirror, Hall permits us to see the awesome grip of unconscious culture. Beyond Culture is a book about self-discovery; it is a voyage we all must embark on if mankind is to survive.
"Fascinating and emotionally challenging. . . . The book's graceful, non-technical style and the many illuminating, real-life illustrations make it a delight to read." --Library
