Daughters of the Canton Delta: Marriage Patterns and Economic Strategies in South China, 1860-1930
Published in Hardcover by Stanford Univ Pr (April, 1989)
Average review score: 
Informative, but poorly writtenDaughters of the Canton Delta provides the reader with a great deal of interesting information regarding marriage practices and the struggle of women in the Canton Delta. Unfortuantely, Stockard seems to have trouble writing concisely. Sentences are often repeaded multiple times before she feels her point has been appropriately conveyed. This makes for somewhat of a frusterating read.
Do ReadDaughters of the Canton Delta is not only one of my favorite anthropology texts, but it stands alone as a great read. Although the author went to a great deal of research and fieldwork, each chapter reads easily and quickly. It makes a great classroom text or bedside reading. This book provides the perfect opportunity for someone who doesn't have much experience with good anthropology (research and study), but wants to. I'd also highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in asian cultures in general, there are many practices or aspects of marriage revealed in this book that I imagine even many inhabitants of South China don't know.

Not very well writtenI THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. iT IS NOT VERY WELL WRITTEN. NOT BOTHER TO BUY THIS BOOK.
Get your facts straight Tim!Hey Tim, It's back to journalisum 101 for you! I was one of the divers assigned to the Yakov Gluzman dive. You would think that basic information should be right. It was not the Bergen County SHERIFFS Department that recovered the body parts of Yakov Gluzman, it was the Bergen County POLICE Department! How about a little credit, where credit is due! While I, personally do not want credit for being on the dive team that located all the body parts, I think my agency and the team deserved better. It boils down to basic investigative reporting, so get your facts straight. I guess it dosen't matter to you, because you sold a book! Bravo!
A Thorough description of the crime and capture. Good jobMr Hays explains and describes the brutality of the crime, the problems law officials had with circumstancial evidence and their ability to convict in spite of it . It was an interesting read with a thoroughness that belies an understanding of the problems associated with crime conviction.
