"In the early 1980s, when the contributors to this volume completed their graduate
training at Oxford, the conditions of practice in anthropology were undergoing profound
change. Professionally, the immediate postcolonial period was over and neoliberal
reforms were marginalizing the social sciences. Analytically, the poststructuralist
critique of the notion of 'society' challenged a discipline that dubbed itself as
'social'. Here self-ethnography is used to portray the contributors' anthropological
trajectories, showing how analytical and academic engagements interacted creatively
over time"
