- Summary:
- Jack Goody is a thinker who enjoys subverting neat simplifications and rigid preconceptions. A leading anthropologist and comparative sociologist, he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed critique of crude historical distinctions between 'West' and 'East' -- and overblown claims for the uniqueness of the West, In Food and Love, Goody pursues his argument into the sphere of culture.
