Description
The major contribution of anthropology to both the intellectual and the political world has been to include 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 then 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 not partly Indonesia, where the author has worked since 1962, and partly other places he has resided.
