What is the relevance of Europeanist ethnography for anthropological theory generally? Considering a region usually regarded as the source rather than an object of anthropology and colonialism alike, seven anthropologists reflexively address, inter alia, the implications of studying spaces already deeply explored by other disciplines, the potential of economic history to defamiliarize Eurocentric models and of recent events to illuminate such concepts as state and market, the meaning of 'West' as a specific locus of power and reification, the limits of the 'local' as the focus of ethnography, and the tensions among politically and culturally disparate entities within emergent ideologies of cultural unity.
