Comment: While reading this book, I thought it was accomplishing in its very substance what it was saying with its words. As I expected from a book on culture, it provides examples ranging from western to eastern societies, from contemporary episodes to past ones. The ability to find examples from different fields and to connect them to the central topic makes the point of the tremendous consequentiality of cultural issues. At the same time it refrains from generalizations, highlighting the serious dilemmas in which cultural encounters engage us. It is a committed tour throughout various themes of a cultural perspective in both everyday puzzlements and major events covered in the media. For this reasons and for the style of its writing it comes as a pleasant and compelling reading. The general approach relies on socio-constructionism and cultural psychology, which are part of the very new trends in talking about culture. If you are looking for an introduction to cultural issues in social sciences this book offers a fresh repertoire of relevant cases together with sketched references to some of the among the most appreciated theoretical frameworks in current research.
