ABSTRACT
The critical journey under discussion is thus not confined to fieldwork, although that the major focus of author's exploration. The most important departmental training for the author's took place not before fieldwork but during the writing up period in intense supervision, seminar and informal discussion. That critical journey has continued, scrutinized and pushed forward through conversation and participation in social life on both sides of the Atlantic since then. Part of 'writing culture moment' in anthropology was recognition that ethnography can never be transparent account of an objective cultural reality. From the end of nineteenth century on, the anthropological record is replete with evidence of sorts of concerns that have underpinned the critical engagement with the nature of anthropological knowledge and anthropological relationships that have come to be identified with what is called post-modern. One of Geertz most famous admonitions in Argonauts of the Western Pacific is that anthropologists must learn to 'see the world through the Natives' eyes'.
