I am presenting this reading to you as an alternative viewpoint to my own. I am of the opinion that colonial anthropologists were quite influential and damaging, but our entire field is not in agreement about the extent to which anthropologists advanced colonial interests. So, to show you that everything in this course is up for academic debate, please consider this alternative viewpoint, and then, decide exactly where you stand after seeing all of the evidence presented throughout the semester. Talal Asad is a Pakistani/American anthropologist at the CUNY Graduate Center. Asad has made important theoretical contributions to post-colonialism, Christianity, Islam, and ritual studies and has recently called for, and initiated, and anthropology of secularism. Written in 1991, Asad's "Afterword: From the History of Colonial Anthropology to the Anthropology of Western Hegemony" comes from George Stocking's "Colonial Situations: Essays on the Contextualization of Ethnographic Knowledge." The piece aims to provide essential context to the role of colonialism in anthropological history. (Reading and explanation taken from University of Western Ohio) Audio Play media comment.

To progressive people, the term "liberal" is a compliment that reflects someone who is open-minded and working to improve society. To conservative people, the word "liberal" refers to someone who is mistaken about what is going to improve society. According to AllSides, 'For conservatives in the country, liberal has become a kind of 7-letter dirty word - synonymous with loose-spending, morally corrupt, aggressive and deceptive'."
