Imagine an anthropological discourse in which Others classify anthropologists in same manner that We classify Them. Such a movement would be a step toward decolonization of anthropological texts; it would also help to infuse our writing with a desperately needed sense of humor. Savages, after all, enjoy savaging ethnographers. In this article I argue that their classifications of us are revelatory, for they situate ethnographic research in a broader, more epistemologically and politically sensitive context More specifically, I probe here historical, sociopolitical, and epistemological rationale for Songhay categorization of me as the son of French filmmaker and anthropologist Jean Rouch
