"For its millions of readers, the National Geographic has long been a window to the world of exotic peoples and places. In this fascinating account of an American institution, Catherine A. Lutz and Jane L. Collins explore the possibility that the magazine, in purporting to teach us about distant cultures, actually tells us much more about our own.Lutz and Collins take us inside the National Geographic Society to investigate how its photographers, editors, and designers select images and text to produce representations of Third World cultures. Through interviews with the editors, they describe the process as one of negotiating standards of "balance" and "objectivity," informational content and visual beauty. Then, in a close reading of some six hundred photographs, they examine issues of race, gender, privilege, progress, and modernity through an analysis of the way such things as color, pose, framing, and vantage point are used in representations of non-Western peoples. Finally, through extensive interviews with readers, the authors assess how the cultural narratives of the magazine are received and interpreted, and identify a tension between the desire to know about other peoples and their ways and the wish to validate middle-class American values.
The result is a complex portrait of an institution and its role in promoting a kind of conservative humanism that acknowledges universal values and celebrates diversity while it allows readers to relegate non-Western peoples to an earlier stage of progress. We see the magazine and the Society as a key middlebrow arbiter of taste, wealth, and power in America, and we get a telling glimpse into middle-class American culture and all the wishes, assumptions, and fears it brings to bear on our armchair explorations of the world."

Nice.
Size: Medium, Color: Prime Pink/White Assorted
These were great quality and perfect fit. They held up. Under Armour seems to make the better quality socks than others.

Perfect Fit and Versatile for All-Day Wear
Size: Small, Color: White/Cerise Assorted
I absolutely love these socks! Though they're technically kid-sized, they fit my size 5-6 women's feet perfectly and are incredibly versatile. I wear them for workouts, casual outfits, and pretty much all the time. They’re reliable, well-fitting, and comfortable throughout the day. The quality is excellent, and they hold up well even with frequent use. If you’re looking for socks that combine great fit with durability and style, these are definitely a top pick!

Love these little socks. Soft and stay in place, no falling down in my shoe. I will definitely be buying more. Holding up well after multiple washings.

Great fit, no slip
Size: Medium, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Anthracite
These looked too small for my feet, but now I love wearing them as they are comfortable and stay on my feet! They look great and the colors are easy to match. Excellent value for the money in my humble opinion.
