Title: There are better
Product review: The readers thus far listed have high praise for Dr. Mazrui's book. I too took his class on Cultural Forces at SUNY Bing, but I came away with a far different perception about the man and his ideas. He has done some pioneering work, to be sure, and his "lenses of perceptions" arguments seemed on the surface to have some merit.But reading mroe of his work after having taken that class as a dopey college sophomore, I see that his views are less scholarship and more polemic. There are other writers who have done much better work, for example, Harrison and Huntington's Culture Matters. Or anything by Kaplan. This one should remain on the library shelf.
