The fact that this is a fictionale account is for many a moot point, as Octavio Paz has pointed out:

"bla"

This does not change the fact that the book is presented as an anthropological study where it is actually a classic case of cultural imposition. Those that defend Castaneda do not take into account the real Yaquis whose beliefs and culture are grossly misrepresented. Its popularity in the new-age movement shows the standard clash, namely between what this movement sees as resistance against its freedom to believe in what it wishes and the anthropological communties view that such selective cultural appropriation being represented as the culture itself is disrespectful to the traditional society in question.

The literature unmasking Castaneda can be easily acqired & is referred to in the site of his detractors, http://www.sustainedaction.org . It's listed at http://www.sustainedaction.org/Explorations/explorations_i.htm Mir Harven 09:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I am an atheist, agnostic at best but I strongly disagree with your disrespectful statement about Islam. Furthermore the comparison just doesn't hold up in anyway. If you would for a moment imagine for instance that Islam is a religion only practiced by a small tribe in the mountains of Oman, and that a western man acquires his anthropolgy PhD by a text he wrote concerning their religion. A few years later another westerner, an anthropologist undertakes detailed research of this tribe and their religion and compares it with the text published earlier and finds out that this text cannot possibly be based on Islam itself. The university at which the man was given his PhD retracts it as a result. However, this text has become world famous and has inspired millions, it has become a cultural phenomenon, albeit a purely western one.

The 'Death Coast' is called thus because of the numerous ships which have been wrecked over the centuries, whether this is due to the treacherous coastline or locals luring ships onto the rocks to be able to plunder their cargo is unclear.

no sense of national identity, perhaps not in the sense of the tender late 20th century post-modern sensibilities you talk about (good one, btw) because then that could be said for much of the rest of the world. Loose tribes you say? Could anything else be said of SOuth Africa in the past? Did you agree then with the Apartheid regime on that basis? And don't try and tell me that Israel is any different, in terms of racial division and documented human rights abuses it is established that it's worse. 

but you really should read up a bit more on the region, because there have been nationalist uprisings all over the region for centuries against both the Ottoman and also Western colonial powers.

Another of the shattered pieces of the Satrapies that you refer to is the Balkans where the west also ignored Wilson's credo by creating Yugoslavia and that too proved to be a timebomb.

I also fail to see how these can be not the responsibility of the west when they became part of the west and the west decided how to divide and rule them. Lebanon and Syria were always one region but the French found it expedient to take the best bit and try and hold on to that. They created a artificially separate entity out of the richest part of the region so that they could continue to exercise some control over it. Same with with Jordan and Palestine controlled by the British. And guess what, when Saddam said that Kuwait is actually an Iraqi province, historically speaking he is fully correct. The British had to allow Iraq independence in the twenties but they held on to the oil richest bit, Kuwait, and quietly continued to run it until 1971.
