How not to be a victim of cultural conditioning.

This is a book everybody concerned about their own well-being and the future of their world will want to read and give to their best friends. It is a light and humorous -- albeit critical and insightful -- account of how culture shapes our perceptions of reality and gets us to do what we don't intend to do.* From Egypt to India, from Paris to Papeete, Anthropologist Dr. Peck reveals the rituals of culture that render and keep us spellbound.

Anthropology is good to think with and has the potential to be an emancipatory Social Science.
Dr. Peck applies it to the practical concerns of everyday life.

 *Cannibalism is used in this book as a metaphor to describe this process of "consuming" 
or being "consumed" by other human beings. 

Dr. Peck has studied and travelled in more than eighty countries around the world - and has lived and worked in many of them -  in her never-ending search for the illusive tricks and turns of culture. Her previous non-academic book, Island in Space, was a Canadian best-seller.
