We can discuss the topic in the following manner:
A book written by a historian about the Navajo would be more objective and descriptive, but consequently more superficial.
On the other hand, an autobiography written by a person who is Navajo would be subjective and would contain deeper knowledge due to life experiences.
- When writing about people or cultures to which we do not belong, even if we are historians who study them intensively, we are likely to give a more superficial description of things.
- After all, we get to know those people and cultures through an outside, foreign perspective. We are already molded by our own original cultural background.
- On the other hand, when we write about our own history, culture, and people, we are likely to do so in a deeper, subjective way.
- We not only know about the culture and the customs: we have experienced them first-hand. We have felt them.
- In conclusion, the book by a historian and an autobiography by a Navajo would certainly be very different.
