anetq's review against another edition
3.0
The zenophobe's guide are always a fun look at cultures, people and customs from the inside and the outside - and having an outside look into the Danes is rather fun - I particularly like the (positive) re-interpretation of the Law of Jante - usually a negative, based on [a:Aksel Sandemose|438000|Aksel Sandemose|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1350145726p2/438000.jpg]s not very positive twist on Danish society (but evil tongues may suggest that him having to flee the country due to unpaid depts might have been a factor?) Anyway - this little pamphlet has a positive version "You must believe that everyone is somebody" (rather than "You must not believe that you are anybody") - which I've used in teaching previously, and have been told was more accurate.
Otherwise it's just a bit of a laugh - and could really do with an update, if it is to stay relevant.

A short and fun introduction to Danish culture with a little bit of humour sprinkled in.
