Beskrivning

There are ongoing efforts in anthropology to decolonise its history and give fairer space to marginalised traditions. This book examines the history and institutionalisation of anthropology in the Maghreb, the Mashreq and the Gulf, in an open and collaborative manner and from various perspectives. Its primary focus is two-fold: first, to reorient the anthropological focus towards studies conducted in the region, particularly on the conditions conducive to the institutionalisation of anthropological knowledge; second, to shed light on anthropological studies in languages other than English. offering different theoretical and epistemological perspectives.

“This is a timely, and significant work. The chapters in this book are diverse and cover a wide geographic context.” • Yasmine Moataz Ahmed, The American University in Cairo“Far from being merely another postcolonial commentary on the mistakes and deficiencies of past anthropological approaches, the chapters optimistically seek paths forward that may allow anthropology to make a greater contribution to perspectives and conditions in the Arab world.” · Choice Recommended
