This is pretty fruitless and really you are just jumping all over. If her going to live some place matters (as you seem to indicated in the comment you made), but my living here doesn't, then I am confused. I view the content of the book with a belief that she didn't look through her subjects eyes and thus failed to live up to an true description of the people. I'm a bit sensitive to that type of thing since I've seen it more than once from another culture I grew up in.

anyway, I'm done with this as I don't have an idea what your definition of "engagement" is and since I'm having flashbacks to running into trouble with the changing meaning of "socialize", I'll go think pleasant thoughts.
