COMMUNICATION

>>From patent miscommunication through potent ambiguity to
pregnant silence, this incisive collection examines from a
rare anthropological perspective the many aspects of
indirect communication.  From a Mormon theme park to carnival
time on Montserrat, the contributors analyze indirection by
illustrating how food, silence, sunglasses, martial arts, and
rudeness constitute powerful ways of conveying meaning. ASA
