Abstract

Instead of each of us writing a paper for this special issue, we decided to have a dialogue. We met for a number of hours in January 1993 in San Antonio and engaged in a conversation about ethnomathematics. Without planning the subjects to be treated in advance, we let our ideas flow. It was a most rewarding experience. We taped the conversation and worked from the recording, trying to keep the transcript as close as possible to the original informal style of our talk together.
