Inhaltsangabe

Starts from the position that we need to ask what kind of work academics/intellectuals should be doing; and how this might affect the design of the research projects. This is not at all common in books of a similar kind. Vital theoretical issues are addressed at length and in a highly provocative manner in key chapters that frame the core ethnographic chapters which demonstrate the application of the theoretical issues addressed. Represents an argument for a particular approach to anthropology and to social enquiry more broadly that the author terms historical realism. He shows how such an approach is an extension of and an advance of approaches referred to as critique of political economy or simply political economy approaches. Makes a case for historical ethnography.
