an idea of america presented to the european colonial powers in 1597 :: crucial in shaping european views of the new world - it's primitivism, barbarism, savagery, and most importantly it's inferiority, to justify their subjugation and 'civilizing' of the natives.
no actual practices of cannibalism exist(ed) amongst the native peoples of america

I think are dissertation maybe structured around the same issues. I've even been looking back at some note's from our sessions with sarah cheung...so much things that i didn't even know about historically that makes me understand what goes on today.CRAZY!!!
i know Sarah is like my idol! yeah our dissertations are dealing with very similar issues but in different contexts. but i get what you mean suddenly the world changes and you start to see all these things at work!
