Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the
assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West.
In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed
to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and
its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first
book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world
in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or
national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western
discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the
'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the
'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the
resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in
which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have
more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others?
Critically examining the international dissemination of
anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors
address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable
world anthropologies project.
