Anthropological Theory for the Twenty-First Century presents a
critical approach to the study of anthropological theory for the
next generation of aspiring anthropologists. Through a carefully
curated selection of readings, this collection reflects the
diversity of scholars who have long contributed to the development
of anthropological theory, incorporating writings by scholars of
color, non-Western scholars, and others whose contributions have
historically been under-acknowledged. The volume puts writings from
established canonical thinkers, such as Marx, Boas, and Foucault,
into productive conversations with Du Bois, Ortiz, Medicine,
Trouillot, Said, and many others. The editors also engage in
critical conversations surrounding the "canon" itself, including
its colonial history and decolonial potential. Updating the canon
with late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century
scholarship, this reader includes discussions of contemporary
theories such as queer theory, decolonial theory, ontology, and
anti-racism. Each section is framed by clear and concise editorial
introductions that place the readings in context and conversation
with each other, as well as questions and glossaries to guide
reader comprehension. A dynamic companion website features
additional resources, including links to videos, podcasts,
articles, and more.
