Diy Diy diy — This collection of essays is quite varied from fairly informal writings to very academic papers submitted to anthropological journals, but they all share his refreshing internationalist perspective. If nothing else, this collection is worth reading simply for its description of the '84 anti Sikh riots (during which Ghosh was in Delhi) and how similar they feel to other essays of his dealing with happenings in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & Cambodia. He strongly makes the case that these are not isolated problems dealing with religious, linguistic, racial or any such issues, but instead manifestations of the same tendency towards extremist violence. In order to prevent this from happening, we need to better understand the reasons behind this phenomenon.

Stephen Pitcher stephenpitcher — Simply put (perhaps too simply), this book is about the media and its effects - but it is also about something more fundamental. This book is the most clear expression (or demonstration) of what it means to say we live in "the postmodern era." There has been a lot of books written on what "postmodernism" means, and most of them are lofty academic expositions that speak to only a select few. This book speaks to everyone and says some very thoughtful things about what it means to live in a late-capitalist, media-driven postmodern society. If you're interested in that kind of thing, this is a 5 star account that won't disappoint.
