<p>Explores the situation in American anthropology, showing that the assumptions of the discipline and its institutional setting have been irreversibly undermined. ' discusses why the separation of anthropology from the other social sciences has broken down; how the role of the interviewer and fieldworker, once unique to anthropology, has spread to other social sciences.; how formerly colonial relationships, at home on Indian reservations, as well as abroad, have been increasingly challenged; how attitudes of potential anthropology students have changed toward the desire to study their own society instead of a foreign one.
