Matthew Carey's book #Mistrust: An Ethnographic #Theory is, like lots of #anthropology, refreshing and mind-expanding. His focus is on the High Atlas mountains of #Morocco. There's interesting discussions of lying, tolerance, conspiracy, etc. He even touches upon #anarchism, although in a somewhat superficial fashion. And I personally prefer "mistrust" to refer to "mistaken trust" as opposed to just a synonym for #distrust. But, it's still provocative and worth the time. #HAUBooks

He won’t believe the shape
Of what he sees on the page
Unless he has watched it
Being formed by the hands
Which claim its origin.

The aura of mistrust
Was bred into him by all
The broken promises of
His youth, the turned
Backs when most he
Needed open arms. He
Is exhausted by all this.

The spoken word is even
Less reliable, even when
Liars look in his eyes.

He cannot interpret signs.

Shrouding mist, woven with lies
cripple the strongest ties of steel
leaving nothing
but hearts, with holes corroded, behind

whatever mistrust
lingers in your heartful mind
greet with a bye wave

#Journalism #News #Media #Mistrust #Minorities: "There’s a new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism that focuses on distrust of news media — and what news organizations might be able to do about it.

Let’s get the bad news out of the way: the news industry is unlikely to find a silver bullet. “There is no single trust problem, and therefore there is no single trust solution,” the first line of the report reads.

The report draws on a series of focus groups with 322 people from “disadvantaged or historically underserved communities” in four countries. (In Brazil, focus groups contained Black and mixed-race audiences. In India, Muslims and those from “marginalized castes or tribes” were interviewed. In the U.K., the authors focused on working-class audiences. And in the U.S., Black and rural audiences were in the spotlight.) Despite differences between and among the focus group participants, several familiar themes emerged. Participants thought the news could be unfair, inaccurate, sensationalized, and subject to “hidden agendas” they believed shaped coverage behind the scenes."

And then we wonder why kids grow up to be so confused and mistrusting. Why lie to them and encourage it in such a way?
