Title: Cultural Elitism
Product review: Though a beautiful idea of connecting all humanity, this project falls short and is sadly a product of it's time. I will state just a few brief examples of the many. First, women are again and again portrayed either in the embrace of their lovers, caring for children, or cooking. There is a page depicting women doing all sorts of 'work' like cleaning various things, while on the next page men engage in board meetings, lab experiments, drafting, etc. The typical African man is depicted as a half clothed (if not fully naked) tribesmen. In the 24 instances where a black man is clothed, 17 of them are photos from the United States. There is so much more that can be said (such as the absence of gay or lesbian couples, the "Western" narrative of love/marriage/birth, etc). I'm simply disappointed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
