How has the concept of race shaped anthropology across continents and centuries?
This book brings together marginalized voices to offer a decolonial perspective, revealing the entwined histories of race, power and knowledge from the late 19th century to the present. Covering South America, India, northern and southern Europe, East Africa and Asia, chapters examine race in museums, media, nationalist and imperialist ideologies and anthropological practices. The authors trace the legacies of coloniality and open pathways for contemporary research.
This is a thought-provoking guide for anyone seeking to rethink anthropology, race and global power structures.
