Listen "The Reluctant Anthropologist: Tales of Madagascar | Prof Maurice Bloch"
Episode Synopsis
World famous anthropologist Maurice Bloch asks : why is it so easy, when we go to somewhere which the tourist industry would describe as very exotic, to get on with people?
Part of the answer is that remote people are much less different than we might, at first, believe and that modern society is much less different than is often assumed. This argument is illustrated with examples from Madagascar.
