Description

Book Synopsis
An innovative, in-depth exploration of animal metaphors in a non-Western society and a critique of current theoretical approaches in anthropology.

Trade Review
"A Dog Pissing at the Edge of a Path directly addresses some of the excesses of cultural relativism in anthropology, schools of thought that overemphasize differences between societies at the cost of understanding the commonalities that link them. It makes an important contribution to ethnozoology and the study of metaphor." Scott Simon, University of Ottawa
