Combining rich personal accounts from twelve veteran
anthropologists with reflexive analyses of the state of
anthropology today, this book is a treatise on theory and method
offering fresh insights into the production of anthropological
knowledge, from the creation of key concepts to major paradigm
shifts. Particular focus is given to how 'peripheral perspectives'
can help re-shape the discipline and the ways that anthropologists
think about contemporary culture and society. From urban Maori
communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand to the Highlands of Papua New
Guinea, from Arnhem Land in Australia to the villages of Yorkshire,
these accounts take us to the heart of the anthropological
endeavour, decentring mainstream perspectives, and revealing the
intimate relationships and processes that create anthropological
knowledge.
