Entangled Objects: Exchange, Material Culture, and Colonialism in the Pacific
Nicholas Thomas
The author takes up issues central to modern anthropology. In so doing he raises doubts about any simple "us / them" dichotomy between Westerners and Pacific Islanders, challenging the preoccupation of anthropology with cultural differences by stressing the shared history of colonial entanglement.
