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 artifact of the anthropological theory that produced  it, but also that the anthropology was an artifact of the  anthropological theory that produced it, but also that the anthropology concerned has been closely tied into both the historical dispossession  and the continuing oppression 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780304703401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40611630088398,"sku":"9780304703401","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780304703401","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
