Castaneda's Journey: The Power and the Allegory

Es un libro obligatorio para todos los lectores de Castaneda

Anti- Castaneda but great reading. Explore both sides of a coin.

I have never thought of Castaneda's work as being a serious ethnography. I think what he wrote was a series of novels based on ethnography that was faulty. His novels were not organized and presented the way a serious ethnography is.

I was very disappointed by this book. It's not an exposé - it's personal theory, postulation and opinion. Nowhere in this book could I find concrete evidence of any hoax on the part of Castaneda. The author just theorises with little, if any, evidence at all. The author's blurb also contains false and misleading information about De Mille's academic credentials and standing in the academic community - which, considering his history as the co-founder of Scientology and lifelong Dianetics adherent, is not surprising.
