Oluwatoyin,

Thank you for bringing back the contributions of Claude Levi Staruss to the present. As a student of Anthropology at Oxford, I had to read his interesting articles on structuralism, and his distinctions through taxonomies of right and left etc.

Your reference will provide me with a refreshing re-reading.  I have taken up some CODESRA Doctoral Student Mentees from Nigeria and the Cameroon.  I am billed to take another from Uganda. Check out how to to be part of this experience since you are so gifted and thorough,

Thanks,

Dr. Babatunde
