    Uploaded by

    British anthropology has faced a crisis due to its close ties to colonialism and failure to recognize the impact of colonialism on native populations. Post-colonial critiques argue that anthropology's claims of objectivity and cultural relativism obscured its role in justifying colonial policies. Younger anthropologists are now more aware of these issues and seeking to develop non-colonial approaches focused on understanding native points of view rather than objectifying native cultures.
