About this book

The intersection between history and anthropology is more varied now than it has ever been. Historians have increasingly looked to the methodologies of anthropologists to explain inequalities of power, problems of voicelessness, and conceptions of social change from an inside perspective. And ethnologists have increasingly relied on longitudinal visions of their subjects, inquiries framed by the lens of history rather than purely structuralist, culturalist, or functionalist visions of behavior. The contributors to this book deal with the problems and possibilities of the blurring of these boundaries in different and exciting ways.
