What Is Anthropology For?

More about the book

The book questions the relevance of anthropology in the modern era, considering its colonial roots established in the 19th century. It explores the implications of current social movements, such as Black Lives Matter, and the push for decolonization within academic curricula. The text examines whether the discipline can be reformed or if it remains irreparably tainted by its historical associations, prompting a critical reflection on its future in contemporary society.
