| Re: .Picture of the day: There are Kings and there are Princes Does the Emir usually sit on a throne?
If the Emir is sitting on the seat that he usually sits on (sits on when he has important guests), what does it matter that in "our eyes" Prince Charles' guest seat is grander than the Emir's?
Are we sure that we are not looking at this through "Westernized" eyes: It is a throne, therefore the Emir, not the prince, should be sitting on it. But, what is a throne? It is whatever the King sits on. I am not sure, but I loathe to judge the book by its cover without more.
Some Western/Western trained anthropologists argue that lesbanism was common in some Nigerian cultures because women "marry" other women. They don't know the social factors behind that. Others argue that male homosexuality was common because diviners dressed in women's clothing and plaited their hair. They don't know the sociological factors behind the the appearance of diviners.
