Abstract

The debate within the American anthropological discipline seems to be continuous for the past thirty years over the crises in relevancy,
directions and places of the discipline in the American academic
community. This article will summarize some of this debate as it has
been recently discussed in the American Anthropological Association
Newsletter and as the discussion plays out at the university level. I will focus on two of the discussions taking place: 1.) the validity of the four fields approach and emphasis in American anthropology, and 2.) the directions that the discipline might take in maintaining its critical role in academe, particularily in the social sciences. With this summation I will discuss my ideas of where the emphases should be with a conclusion that supports the four fields integration and the basic anthropological perspectives from this integrative holism that are the rationales for anthropology in our university curriculum.
