Ethnic Studies Texts - Culture and Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis by Renato Rosaldo (1993)

In this book, anthropologist Renato Rosaldo questions the whole idea of "objective" truth in humanities and social sciences and argues that truth is always relative. Whoa.

  1. Why, according to Rosaldo, is it important to broaden our idea of "truth"?
  2. In what ways can we include more marginalized (ethnic, social, economic) perspectives in mainstream academic disciplines?
