laurenlaskowski 's review for:
Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World
by Michele Gelfand
I loved the (brief) parts of this book that discuss the “tight/loose” distinction of personality and family culture. Such a fun difference to notice and think about.
Applying this at a cultural level and thinking it has explanatory power felt absolutely ludicrous (and possibly dangerous) to me. For example, you’re really going to explain US Southern culture without reference to race or the enslavement of Africans? I would love to read a review of this book by a scholar of cultural studies, critical theory, and/or history.
