“ Culture is not an exotic notion studied by a select group of anthropologists in the South Seas. It is a mold in which we are all cast, and it controls our daily lives in many nsuspecting ways…
Culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.”
