Rezension

Imprisoned in English is an heroic attempt to truly understand 'others' as subjects rather than objects without assimilating their understandings to one's own. The book summarizes the author's influential and monumental plan for a great escape from ethnocentrism and conceptual parochialism in the humanities and social sciences. Richard A. Shweder, Harold Higgins Swift Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago
