Resumo
In 1945, Bronislaw Malinowski urged anthropology to abandon what he called its 'one-column entries' on African societies and to study instead the 'no-man's land of change,' to attend to the 'aggressive and conquering' European communities as well as native ones, and to be aware that 'European interests and intentions' were rarely unified but more often 'at war' (1945:14–15). Four decades later, few of us have heeded his prompting or really examined his claim.
