概要：Looking back on a career in anthropology that began more than 60 year ago, I will reflect on the changing character of the discipline following the independence of European colonies in Africa and Asia in the 1960s, and through the social, political and intellectual upheavals of the past two generations. In these years I did field studies in Botswana and Jamaica, wrote on the history of anthropology, taught at universities in England, Holland, South Africa, Sweden, Uganda and the USA, and served as the first president of the European Association of Social Anthropologists.
