The book explores the evolving role of anthropologists in a globalized world, where traditional distinctions between cultures are blurring. It examines how historical approaches to studying "other" societies are challenged by shrinking distances and emerging political dynamics. The author questions how these changes influence the development of a politically engaged anthropology, urging a rethinking of methodologies to address contemporary issues of differentiation and collective identity.
