Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-03 00:00:00 Andrew Parks This was the most amazing book I have read for Anthropology. Moore explains the life of the Marakwet in a such a way that demonstrates the complexities of the lives of the men and women of the Marakwet, but in a way that is accessible to the reader. If you liked Veiled Sentiments and the works of E.E. Evans-Pritchard, you will love this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-02 00:00:00 John Hurley Like the majority of the western historians when they write about the Soviet Union, the writer tended to defame the Soviet economy in a biased way. Mass collectivisation, capital goods industries, central planning are damned from the western point of view, damned because they were what made the Soviets great history. The book didn't provide any new information, only the old lies about famines, coercion, labour camps, and much more of the same stuff that Trotsky used against Stalin, especially the myth of exploiting the peasants to finance the mass industrialisation, which is used throughout the whole book.
