Decolonizing Anthropology by Faye V Harrison University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign
provides a most-needed analysis of the benefits and limitations of the new cultural anthropology. Bolles American Ethnologist, 1994 groundbreaking Levinson The Teachers College Record, 2008 DECOLONIZING ANTHROPOLOGY is part of a broader effort that aims to advance the critical reconstruction of the discipline devoted to understanding humankind in all its diversity and commonality. The utility and power of a decolonized anthropology must continue to be tested and developed. May the results of ethnographic probes--the data, the social and cultural analysis, the theorizing, and the strategies for knowledge application--help scholars envision clearer paths toincreased understanding, a heightened sense of intercultural and international solidarity, and last, but certainly not least, world transformation.
