24. According to Higman, the head sugar boiler added lime, controlled evaporation, and decided when to strike the sugar at the point of crystallization. He "was depended on by the planters to make correct decisions in what required 'practical chemical knowledge' but remained more an art than a science." Mintz discusses striking at length, noting, "boiling and 'striking'... required great skill, and sugar boilers were artisans who worked under difficult conditions" (B.W.

36. Sometimes the data are there and only the perspective is missing. Reversing the dominant perspective, Mintz asks, "Who is more modern, more western, more developed: a barefoot and illiterate Yoruba market woman who daily risks her security and her capital in vigorous individual competition with others like herself; or a Smith College graduate who spends her days ferrying her husband to the Westport railroad station and her children to ballet classes? If the answer is that at least the Smith girl is literate and wears shoes, one may wonder whether one brand of anthropology has not been hoisted by its own petard" (Sidney W.
