520 |a This article examines the politics of ethnography and the role of the anthropologist both in the field and beyond. Drawing upon her field research among Peruvian immigrants in the United States and among Andeans in Peru, the author explores questions about the interactions between informants and anthropologists. Distinctions made by informants between local and foreign researchers are examined. Focusing on the increasing participation by local intellectuals, indigenous leaders, and others in the production and uses of ideas about their own communities, as well as on dialogue and collaboration between local intellectuals and U.S. anthropologists, the author proposes a reassessment of the political and professional role of anthropologists today.
