A major critique of the globalization of the culture principle in
anthropology. This study contends that the subjective anthropology
promoted through postmodernism represents an extreme development of
long established, highly patronizing and misleading evaluations in
the anthropologist's creative role in the construction of theory.
Arguing that theory building is dependent on the actual study of
peoples - a study which is empirically based and historically
sensitive - the book advocates the "fieldwork mode of production
and reproduction." The simplest model for the construction of
empirically-grounded theory involves three interacting sets of
factors: the subjective ethnographer and their deployment of
current theoretical assumptions; the multi-layered ethnographic
"facts" disclosed by fieldwork; and the geopolitical and historical
contexts in which fieldwork is conducted.
