Written by the most prominent Croatian ethnologist/anthropologist of her time, Dunja Rihtman-Augustin (recently deceased) offers a critical overview of her country's ethnological tradition and its developments. Within ten essays, this book (compiled and completed by Jasna Capo Zmegac) sheds light on a series of research questions and problems, and makes crucial remarks regarding the relationship between ethnology and politics. The volume provides exceptional insight not only into Croatian ethnology but also into the key ruptures in Croatian society in general.
