Power, Race, and Culture - The Evolution of a Black Anthropologist (Paperback)

As an African American female who grew up in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights period, Janis Faye Hutchinson has always had a strong consciousness about race and racism. In this book, she examines becoming an anthropologist from the perspective of a black female who grew up in the South during the Civil Rights era. This book intertwines Hutchinson's childhood experiences and socialization in a segregated South, with her academic experiences and training in anthropology, to examine race and race relations in the United States. Hutchinson specifically examines the impact of the concept of race on her professional development and provides a modern outlook on diversity. Power, Race, and Culture: The Evolution of a Black Anthropologist encourages readers to think about their history, in terms of social development, and to make their own observations about race.
