World Anthropologies

Disciplinary Transformations within Systems of Power
Herausgeber: Ribeiro, Gustavo Lins; Escobar, Arturo

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Aims to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, this book provides the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

---

Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West.
