Peer reviewedBrown, Barbara B. – Social Education, 1996
Presents a series of class activities designed to counteract stereotypes of other people. Includes a hilarious parody of an anthropological study of the Nacirema (American spelled backwards). Satirizes American personal hygiene rituals, modern medical practices, and ethnocentric assumptions. (MJP)
