So...
The old (almost structuralist) Binford/Leslie White opposition of history
to anthropology is still with us. Recent (and I mean here, within the last
decade or two) scholarship blurs the distinctions between the two fields.
Few of the historians whose work I've been reading, and none of the
anthropologists, seem worried about "objective truth." And what happens
when the most interesting truths are not objective?
