Description
TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN MODERNITY To live in a thatched house (ill-lit by kerosene or candles), to cook on an open fire (fuel scarce and small children at risk), to eat food you have grown or gathered yourself (walking to distant gardens or bush), to drink from streams (polluted or far from the household): the main clauses are a scenario for Survivor; the parentheses are practical corollaries of such a lifestyle for many citizens of 'developing' countries, particularly women, including the vast majority of Melanesians. (1) The parentheses, in the opinion of most people who live them as well as me, are not romantic but more or less deprived.
