An anthropologist among the historians. A field report

Abstract

In the past 25 years, there have been many efforts to bring together historians and anthropologists, thus combining the approaches and methods of both disciplines in a productive collaboration for teaching and research. This effort has had some success at times, but after ten years as a student and practitioner of both disciplines, I still maintain the impression that anthropologists and historians are still very different in what they do and how they ralizarlo. In fact, I believe that both disciplines are entering a phase nativist appellant, and that the climate for collaboration has become somewhat chilly
