Anthropologists have invariably engaged in their discipline as a
form of redemption, whether to escape from social restriction,
nourish their souls, reform their home polities, or vindicate "the
natives." Redeeming Anthropology explores how in pursuit of a
secular science sired by the Enlightenment, adherents to a "faith
in mankind" have vacillated between rejecting and embracing
theology, albeit in concealed and contradictory ways. Mining the
biographical registers of the American, British, and French
anthropological traditions, Khaled Furani argues that despite all
efforts to the contrary, theological sediments remain in this
disciplining discipline. Rather than continuing to forget, deny,
and sequester it, theology can serve as a mirror for introspection,
as a source of critique offering invaluable tools for
revitalization: for thinking anew not only anthropology's study of
others' cultures, but also its very own reason.
