As Bell concludes, 'mimesis is profoundly engaging anthropologically because of issues it raises about the nature of cross-culture engagement'. Anthropologist see, anthropologist do."</em> <strong>- JRAI (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)</strong></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Jeannette Mageo</strong> is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Washington State University.
