In Writing Anthropology, fifty-two anthropologists reflect on
scholarly writing as both craft and commitment. These short essays
cover a wide range of territory, from ethnography, genre, and the
politics of writing to affect, storytelling, authorship, and
scholarly responsibility. Anthropological writing is more than just
communicating findings: anthropologists write to tell stories that
matter, to be accountable to the communities in which they do their
research, and to share new insights about the world in ways that
might change it for the better. The contributors offer insights
into the beauty and the function of language and the joys and pains
of writing while giving encouragement to stay at it-to keep writing
as the most important way to not only improve one's writing but to
also honor the stories and lessons learned through research.
Throughout, they share new thoughts, prompts, and agitations for
writing that will stimulate conversations that cut across the
humanities. Contributors. Whitney Battle-Baptiste, Jane Eva Baxter,
