This book explores major shifts and reorientations in the recent
history of American Anthropology, reflecting the author's vision of
what anthropology is and what it has the potential to become. The
title phrase 'changing fields' can be read in two ways: One meaning
refers to how, since the mid-1960s, the larger national and global
social, intellectual, and political fields within which American
anthropology is situated have profoundly changed. The second
meaning refers to how, in response to these changing fields, the
author, like many other anthropologists, changed the locations of
his fieldwork along with his research problems and theoretical
perspectives. The book engages three fundamental
intellectual-political challenges that American anthropology is
destined to confront (or at its peril, avoid): becoming more
self-reflexive, achieving theoretical and methodological holism,
and defense of universal human rights.
