Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback, xiv + 318 pages, b&w maps and photos pp 311-318, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright interior with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle handling wear only, a long crease on the spine. -- This collection captures a pivotal post-apartheid moment, assessing the state and future of anthropology in Southern Africa through the lens of the "African Renaissance." -- Originating from a landmark conference of the Association for Anthropology in Southern Africa, this volume gathers established and emerging scholars to explore the discipline's role in an era of intellectual renewal. The essays are organized into five key themes: rethinking anthropology's colonial past; the reinvention of culture and tradition; perspectives on gender and youth; the application of anthropology in development; and studies of land, space, and landscapes. Case studies offer a rich flavour of the research, from health-seeking behaviors related to witchcraft and HIV/AIDS to the subaltern meaning of spaza shops as a form of resistance in South African townships. A notable emphasis is placed on medical anthropology and development studies. -- The book's value lies in its documentation of a discipline in transition. It moves beyond outdated culturological and Marxist frameworks to engage with contemporary, Africa-centred intellectual concerns, offering indispensable insights for scholars of African studies, post-colonial theory, and international development.…
