Abstract
Colombian anthropology is part of what Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira (1999) has called "peripheral anthropologies". These southern anthropologies have, since their emergence, forged close - and often conflicting - links with the "central anthropologies" of the classical schools in Europe, England and the USA. The characteristics of this discipline in Colombia cannot be detached from these relationships, nor from the wider context of Latin American anthropology and the country's historical, social and cultural particularities. The great social and cultural diversity is at the heart of the discipline's questions and practices. It is in the form of a "committed anthropology" that the discipline will be practiced in Colombia as soon as it enters the university system.
