Description
Decolonization has been a buzzword in anthropology for decades. This groundbreaking volume offers not only an anthropology of decolonization, but new ways of thinking about the relationship between anthropology and colonialism, and how we might move beyond colonialisms troubling legacy, particularly in the metropole. Soumhya Venkatesan argues that the word `decolonization is simultaneously too broad and too narrow. In compelling prose, she describes the work already underway and the work still needed - in research, writing and teaching - to extend the horizons of the discipline. She explores a range of concepts including Achille Mbembes disenclosure, Cheryl Mattinglys moral experiments, Miranda Frickers epistemic justice, and Gurminder Bhambras epistemological justice, and domestication. Throughout, she emphasises the potential of ethnography as a way of both knowing diverse worlds and of being with others in them. Rich with insights from a range of fields, Decolonizing Anthropology is a go-to book for students and scholars.
