Entangled Objects threatens to dislodge the cornerstone of Western anthropology by
rendering permanently problematic the idea of reciprocity. All traffic, and commerce, whether

predicated upon the possibility of establishing reciprocal relations between the West and the
indigenous peoples it has colonized for centuries.
