人类学的世界已经改变了。民族志他者不再是可利用的、顺从的、等待人类学表征的，而是获得了他/她自己的声音。因此，人类学面临着一个困境。人类学在这个变化了的世界中的作用是什么？两个替代品进行审查。第一种是后现代主义，强调实验民族志文本的发展，这些文本记录了被改造的他者的声音。本文指出后现代“解决方案”的弱点，提出以社区为中心的研究作为对当代社会现实的更适当的回应。在这种方法中，人类学家寻求在争取自决的斗争中与他者合作。说明提供了在波多黎各社区为基础的组织（CBO）雇用的人类学家的案例研究，具体提到的药物滥用预防和治疗工作的出现和发展，这CBO。在指出这一角色的困难的同时，本文认为，学术行动主义，从第三世界采取的模式，是非常适合后现代世界。
The anthropological world has changed. The ethnographic Other is no longer available and pliant, awaiting anthropological representation, but has acquired a voice of his/her own. As a result, anthropology is faced with a dilemma. What is to be the anthropological role in this transformed world? Two alternatives are examined. The first, postmodernism, stresses the development of experimental ethnographic texts that inscribe the voice of the transformed Other. Noting the weaknesses of the postmodern ‘solution,’ this paper proposes community-centered research as a more appropriate response to contemporary social realities. In this approach, the anthropologist seeks collaboration with the Other in the struggle for self-determination. Illustration is provided with the case study of anthropologists employed in a Puerto Rican community based organization (CBO), with specific reference to the emergence and development of the substance abuse prevention and treatment work of this CBO. While noting the difficulties of this role, the paper argues that scholarly activism, a model adopted from the Third World, is well suited to the postmodern world.
