Description
Sick Societies: Challenging the Myth of Primitive Harmony by Robert B. Edgerton challenges the traditional view that primitive societies were inherently happy and healthy before they were corrupted by colonialism. Edgerton examines ethnographic writings to show that many so-called "primitive" societies were actually cruel, confused, and misled. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on the social conditions of developing countries. Hardcover, 288 pages.
