But what happens when traditions become outdated, restrictive, or even harmful? When they no longer serve the needs of a changing world or stifle the growth of individuals and communities?

In this thought-provoking book, "Question of Tradition," renowned historian and cultural anthropologist Dr. Emily Carter embarks on a captivating journey to explore the complexities of tradition and its profound impact on our lives.

Drawing on a wealth of historical research, personal anecdotes, and cross-cultural perspectives, Dr. Carter challenges us to question the assumptions we hold about tradition and to critically examine its underlying values and motivations.

Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis, she reveals how traditions can both empower and disempower, unite and divide, and preserve and destroy.
