«Cannibal Culture» is Deborah Root's cultural criticism essay, published by Westview Press in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Deborah Root analyses how the West commodifies cultural difference: a Navajo blanket, the opera Madame Butterfly, 19th-century Orientalist painting, tourism and New Age shamanism. She examines the consumption of the other as a source of violence, passion and spirituality, and the idea of going native.
The full title, with subtitle, is Cannibal Culture: Art, Appropriation, and the Commodification of Difference (Icon Editions); the first edition appeared in 1995.
For readers of cultural criticism, sociology and anthropology interested in cultural appropriation, tourism and the consumption of difference.
