A Companion to the Anthropology of Africa
A Companion to the Anthropology of Africa is a collection of insightful essays covering key questions and critical research in the contemporary anthropology of Africa. Written and edited by a team of leading cultural anthropologists, it is a thorough introduction to a wide range of interdisciplinary topics such as public health, environmentalism, economic policy, gender and sexuality studies, decolonization and postcolonial experience, and humanitarian aid. The contributors trace the development of current anthropological debates about long-standing themes, including kinship, witchcraft, illness, and healing, that have come to be theorized in vastly different ways in recent years. Chapters on trauma, social justice, and the politics of representation, among others, focus on issues that became prominent in the aftermath of colonialism and independence. With broad representation of the diverse thinking and research in the study of African cultures today, A Companion to the Anthropology of Africa is an ideal resource for teaching and research in anthropology and related fields.
