Conclusion

The concluding chapter endeavors to address the potential criticisms against the epistemological critique launched in this book. The epistemological postulates suggested insofar are potentially controversial as they are easily taken part and parcel of the long-assaulted “ethnographic authority” that claims to produce nothing but knowledge that misrepresents others. The final chapter aims to highlight the nature of these epistemological postulates by extending the discussion to the broader scholarly discussion pertinent to what many ethnographic practitioners nowadays may hastily perceive, and sometimes, unreasonably attack as “ethnographic authority.”
