An audacious critique of the issues that have plagued culturalization in anthropological thought and writing. Allen Chun argues that disciplinary knowledge has always been embedded in changing contexts of sociopolitical practice and that neglect of its underlying politics gives different meaning to anthropology's objective fallacy.
