Originally written in… late 1999, I think? -for an anthropology class of the same name. This is an experiment to see how well (or not) old college papers transfer to this format. Enjoy! ;) Links to associated book reviews I’ve written, and Amazon associate links, are in the Bibliography at the end of the paper….
