ANTH 426

Decolonizing Knowledge through World Anthropologies

University of Delaware 3 credits ANTH

Course Description

Examines the theory and practice of anthropology worldwide to counter the assumption that anthropology is a unified discipline whose most relevant knowledge comes from the West. Addresses how anthropologies in North America and Western Europe exist in complex conversations with anthropologies produced and practiced outside the West, including Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Indigenous North America. Emphasizes the structures of race and gender inequalities that have historically defined anthropology as an academic field, as well as the idea that vibrant conversations between multiple world anthropologies can contribute to robust decolonial (or anti-colonial) agendas for the discipline. Upholds a commitment to undertake anthropology otherwise, seeking to dismantle its historical coloniality by recognizing the diversity of knowledge and numerous ways world anthropologies expand theory, method, and practice. Also analyzes the diverse worlds of practice, engagement, and everyday life linked to different anthropology traditions in different regions.
