Johannes Fabian challenges the assumption that anthropologists live in the "here and now," that their subjects live in the "there and then," and that the "other" exists in a time not contemporary with our own. He also pinpoints the emergence, transformation, and differentiation of a variety of uses of time in the history of anthropology that set specific parameters between power and inequality. In this edition, a new postscript by the author revisits popular conceptions of the "other" and the attempt to produce and represent knowledge of other(s).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The confidence and optimism that Fabian expresses contributes in no small way to the exhilarating intellectual experience this book offers.</p>--Gauri Viswanathan "Columbia University "<br><br><p><b>Praise for the first edition: </p><p></b>"A radical epistemological critique of anthropological writing."--George Marcus, University of California, Irvine</p><p>"The confidence and optimism that Fabian expresses contributes in no small way to the exhilarating intellectual experience this book offers."--Gauri Viswanathan, Columbia University</p><br><br><P>Praise for the first edition: <P>"A radical epistemological critique of anthropological writing."--George Marcus, University of California, Irvine<P>"The confidence and optimism that Fabian expresses contributes in no small way to the exhilarating intellectual experience this book offers."--Gauri Viswanathan, Columbia University<br><br><P>x<br><br><P>The confidence and optimism that Fabian expresses contributes in no small way to the exhilarating intellectual experience that this book offers.--Gauri Viswanathan, Columbia University<br><br><P>A radical epistemological critique of anthropological writing.--George Marcus, University of California, Irvine<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Johannes Fabian is professor emeritus of cultural anthropology at the University of Amsterdam.
