Blog Debate over Book

kathleen writes “Inside Higher Education ” has an article about a huge blog debate on Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997. In the last week anthropology blog — Savage Minds — has set off a huge debate over the book. Two of the eight people who lead Savage Minds posted their objections to the book, and things have taken off from there, with several prominent blogs in the social sciences picking up the debate, and adding to it. Hundreds of scholars are posting and cross-posting in an unusually intense and broad debate for a book that has been out for eight years.”
