| Abstract: | The holistic tradition of cultural anthropology at its best is really a method of deconstruction. Contemporary anthropologists are in the habit of taking a step back from all interactions and institutions and asking basic questions about what these things are, why they function the way they do, and whose interests they serve. This deconstructionist spirit, coupled with the intimate knowledge that an anthropologist acquires about a group of people, can be a very powerful form of critique. Traditionally authors have reserved this form of critique for others, people in foreign lands, disadvantaged groups at home, racially and ethnically other groups. |
