The tradition of intensive fieldwork by a single anthropologist in
one area has been challenged by new emphasis on studying historical
patterns, wider regions, and global networks. Some anthropologists
have started their careers from the new vantage point, amidst a
chorus of claims for innovative methodologies. Others have lived
through these changes of perspective and are able to reflect on
them, while re-evaluating the place of fieldwork within the broader
aims of general anthropology. This book explores these
transformations of world view and approach as they have been
experienced by anthropological colleagues, a number of whom began
their work very much in the earlier tradition. They cover
experiences of field research in Africa, Papua New Guinea, South
America, Central and South Asia, Europe, the Middle East,
Indonesia, Japan and China. Constant through the chapters is a
distinctively qualitative empirical approach, once associated with
the village but now being developed in relation to large-scale or
dispersed communities.
