The book critically examines anthropology's struggle for recognition and relevance in the modern world. It highlights the discipline's intellectual strengths while challenging anthropologists to engage more actively with contemporary issues, such as immigration and biotechnology. Eriksen advocates for a return to narrative storytelling, urging the community to move beyond dry analysis and confront the complex challenges of today's societies without hesitation.
