During recent years, attempts have been made to move beyond the
Eurocentric perspective that characterized the social sciences,
especially anthropology, for over 150 years. A debate on the
"anthropology of anthropology" was needed, one that would consider
other forms of knowledge, modalities of writing, and political and
intellectual practices. This volume undertakes that challenge: it
is the result of discussions held at the first organized encounter
between Iranian, American, and European anthropologists since the
Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is considered an important first
step in overcoming the dichotomy between "peripheral
anthropologies" versus "central anthropologies." The contributors
examine, from a critical perspective, the historical, cultural, and
political field in which anthropological research emerged in Iran
at the beginning of the twentieth century and in which it continues
to develop today.
