This work analyzes the politics of anthropological knowledge from
critical perspective that alters existing understandings of
colonialism. At the same time, it produces insights into the
history of anthropology. Organized around an historical
reconstruction of the great anthropological controversy over
doctrines of virgin birth, the book argues that the allegation a
great deal about European colonial discourse and little if anything
about indigenous beliefs. By means of an Australian example, the
book shows not only that the alleged ignorance was an artefact of
the anthropological theory that produced it, but also that the
anthropology was an artefact of the anthropological theory that
produced it, but also that the anthropology concerened has been
closely tied into both the historical dispossesion and the
continuing oppresion of native peoples. The author explores the
links between metropolitan anthropological theory and local
colonial politics from the 19th century up to the present, settler
colonialism, and the ideological and sexual regimes that
characterize it.
