Why Anthropology Needs the Global South - diskuze

What would anthropology look like if the South were our North? This book turns the map upside down and calls for transforming anthropology from a singular to a plural perspective, which recognizes the Global South as a site of original theory and research rather than merely a source of information. The book acknowledges the structure of racialized and gendered inequalities within which ethnographic research has historically been, and continues to be, conducted, and recognizes the hierarchies created in the West regarding non-Western anthropologists. The authors in this book offer fresh and accessible reflections on their anthropological journeys in the Global South, North, and the worlds in between. They share their ethnographic insights and personal stories to answer the question of why anthropology still needs the Global South. Why Anthropology Needs the Global South is an essential read for anthropology students, professionals and teachers, as well as for anyone seeking a compass for navigating the contemporary world.
