ABSTRACT
In recent decades, both historians and anthropologists have been undertaking much reflexive work within their own disciplines, and have critically re-evaluated the ‘traditionally accepted’ ways of constructing historical as well as cultural realities. While some anthropologists have questioned the static versions of cultures produced by ethnographies, a number of social historians have queried the discursive coherence of traditional historical writings. Both historians and anthropologists have become more cautious of their own methodologies and are more critical of what they use for writing anthropological or historical stories.
