The major contribution of anthropology to both the intellectual and the political world has been to show the worthiness of attending to the peoples and cultures of the world while guarding their specific differences. Recently, however, the treatment of differences has been modified so that such differences are not considered an obstacle to understanding. The emphasis has been put on recognizing similarities. This tendency is aided by the more sophisticated (and standardized) methodology adopted in universities. These essays pose the work of a determined amateur against this trend. They concern partly Indonesia, where the author has worked since 1962, and partly other places he has resided. --Book Jacket.
