![]() For student comments, I focused on a question Guest posed at the end of the reading (57): “Why does Abu-Lughod suggest that cultural relativism is not adequate in approaching cultural diversity? What alternative approaches does she suggest?” I suggested comparing Abu-Lughod with the cultural relativism of Horace Miner’s “Body Ritual among the Nacirema.” The article was re-published in a Reader for a Global Age which I used for Cultural Anthropology 2019. Abu-Lughod later expanded on the theme to write a similarly titled book, Do Muslim Women Need Saving? published in 2013. For Cultural Anthropology 2018-2019, we read the Lila Abu-Lughod article “Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving?” This article was first published in 2002. ![]()
