Florence E. Babb is the Anthony Harrington Distinguished Professor in Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the author of The Tourism Encounter: Fashioning Latin American Nations and Histories.

"Florence Babb’s Women’s Place in the Andes: Engaging Decolonial Feminist Anthropology is a refreshing and unique collection that puts Babb’s writings since the 1970s into dialogue with her more recent work and with contemporary feminist theory broadly. ... the book ultimately illustrates in a complex, multi-scalar way one of the most important talents of the successful anthropologist, in any part of the world: that of listening."
