Culture Troubles: Politics and the Interpretation of Meaning

by Jean-Pascal Daloz and Patrick Chabal

Book Overview

Understanding politics in nations other than your own is a perilous exercise. If you were to read two newspaper articles on the same topic but from different countries, you would likely find two very different interpretations of the same event. But how we think about what is written in our own country seems somehow less distorted, less wrong. So which side is right? And from what reference point can we begin to compare the two?
