From nineteenth-century paintings of Arab marauders to our current fascination with New Age shamanism, Root explores and explodes the consumption of the Other as a source of violence, passion, and spirituality. This fascinating book raises important and uncomfortable questions about how we travel, what we buy, and how we determine cultural merit.
First sentence: A few years before Cortes landed on the coast of Mexico, evil omens began to appear in the capital city of Tenochtitlan that warned of the imminent arrival of the Spaniards and the destruction of the Aztec empire.
