But to begin with, we should give some atten. tion to the larger whole, the "world order of anthropology”. If international anthropology is defined by the plurality of national view- points, as suggested by the late Maurice Freedman in the quotation above, these viewpoints hardly carry equal weight. Look at any of the recent texts on the history of anthropology (they are almost all American). There are some noteworthy Germans in the nineteenth century, but after that almost only the British, the French, and the Americans. Take a quick look at a book named Rementing Anthropology (Hymes 1972). Obviously what is being re invented is American anthropology. Listen in discreetly for instance at some ‘more or less chance encounter berween a Scandinavian anthropologist and an Indian colleague, meeting each other for the first time. Quite possibly they will try to place one another by way of common acquaintances at Chica go or Cambridge, rather like Australian aborigines identifying each other by searching for kinship links when they mect as strangers, It scems that the map of the discipline shows a prosperous mainland of British, American, and French anthropologies, and outside it an archipel ago of large and small islands — some of them connected to the mainland by sturdy bridges or frequent ferry traffic, others rather isolated, On the mainland, people can go through their professional lives more or less unaware of what happens on the islands. ‘The reverse seems not so often to be the case. If international anthropology to a great extent equals Ameri can + British + French anthropology, in other words, then these national anthropologies need hardly take external influences into account to more than a very limiced degree. To find a more intricate interplay between na tional and international anthropology, and perhaps also some tension be toween them, we have to go ashore on some of the islands, This is what we hhave chosen to do in this issue. (Although Stocking, based at the University of Chicago. offers the final remarks from the mainland). ‘To put it bluntly, one of our interests is in the inequalities of international anthropology; in the ways the strong influence those relatively weaker. For such purposes, itis tempting to draw on recent thinking about "center and periphery”, or (with more particular implications) “metropolis and satellite”? Such conceptual adoptions, however, must not be made uncriti cally, and for the moment we must emphasize that we will use these terms loosely. without committing ourselves to entire analytical packages. Anyway, it may be one of the advantages of these terms that through their connota tions we are sensitized to “the big picture”, to the interconnections between ‘on one hand relationships among nations, on the other hand relationships among national anthropologies, and more generally perhaps to the entangle ment of facts of macrosociology and microsociology.
