ABSTRACT
In his book, Culture and Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis (1989), the anthropologist Renato Rosaldo calls for a new ethnography of the borderlands between cultures. Under classic norms, ‘the borders between nations, classes, and cultures were endowed with a curious kind of hybrid invisibility’. Ethnographers now look ‘less for homogeneous communities than for the border zones within and between them’ (1989:217). These cultural border zones, Rosaldo argues, are always in motion.
