Product Description
Review
"This is anthropological survey in the most traditional sense--the only difference being Peter Redfield is not observing a tribe that lives at the end of a remote river, but us: the consumers and investors of this vast dream we call global capitalism. . . . The book is filled with marvelous details of the 'life-world' of Kourou. . . . With his charming prose style, Peter Redfield is the sort of researcher you would like to meet in a bar on the edge of the Western world."--Charles Mudede, "The Stranger (Seattle)
