Traditional Ethnographic Research Focused on the Single Community or Culture

• C) the American Anthropological Association still requires its members to strive toward research focused on one single community.
• D) this is no longer true, nor has it ever been true, a fact that renders classic ethnographies historical curiosities and not serious academic works.
