520	3		_aContiene: This book is about a critical ethnography of the West in its changing relations with other societies. Analyzing cultural practices such as anthropology, travel writing, collecting, and museum displays of tribal art, Clifford shows authoritative accounts of other ways of life to be contingent fictions, now actively contested in postcolonial contexts. His critique raises questions of global sifnificance: who has the authority to speak for any group's identity and authenticity? What are the essential elements and boundaries of a culture? How do self and "the other" clash in the encounters of ethnography, travel, and modern interethnic relations?. In discussions of ethnography, surrealism, museums, and emergent tribal arts, Clifford probes a complex global modernity. Throughout "The predicament of culture" he argues that culture is now less a site of origins and rooting than of translation and transplanting. In his discussions of the polycultural Joseph Conrad, the surrealist Martiniquan Aimé Césaire, the palestinian critic Edward said, and the embattled Mashpee indians of Cape cod, Massachusetts, he probes the late-twentieth-century predicament of living simultaneously within, between, and after culture.
