Summary: Sahlins is high-handed, but the ideas are interesting
Comment: If you're stuggling with the ideas of categorization, conceptualization, and subjectivity in regards to cross-cultural experience and knowledge, then this book might help you. Sahlins basically proves Obeyesekere wrong about the events in Hawaii in the 18th century and throws some philosophical ideas at our "culture-killing" culture. He expounds about the worst tragedy of our politically correct society; in order to justify the intelligence of native societies, we impose our western values upon them. This robs them of their voice and is more along the lines of colonial thinking than Captain Cook ever could have been.
