Open AccessA Lynn BollesARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist2023Cited by: 22References: 9
Thirty-two years after the publication of Faye V. Harrison's edited volume, Decolonizing Anthropology: Moving Further toward an Anthropology of Liberation, I take stock of the book's origins and its impact on the discipline. Despite intellectual barriers and postmodernist critiques, Decolonizing Anthropology has influenced a generation of anthropologists who carry forward the book's original spirit. Focusing on the third edition, I show that Deco…

Connie Sutton, 2007. (Courtesy of Sutton-Lauria family) A pioneering scholar of Afro-Caribbean activism and migration and feminist anthropology, Constance Rita Sutton (“Connie,” as she was known to most) died on August 23, 2018.

Her insights into the power …
Lorraine Bayard de Volo. Women and the Cuban Insurrection: How Gender Shaped Castro’s Victory
Open AccessA Lynn BollesARTICLEThe American Historical Review2019
Images and narratives of rebellion icons Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara are imprinted in historical and popular recounting of the Cuban Revolution. Now and then surfaces images of Cuban women who were members of the same 26th of July Movement (M-26-7), as the rebellion was called.

Rex Nettleford: Gatekeeper of Anthropological Research in Jamaica
A Lynn BollesARTICLECaribbean Quarterly2011
REX NETTLEFORD WAS ONE of the most revered figures in Jamaica, the Caribbean and the African diaspora. He wore many hats with many interests, and one was that of a cultural gatekeeper. Nettleford was mindful of the traffic of social and cultural anthropologists who ventured to Jamaica for their fieldwork and studies. Jamaica is becoming one of the 'over-researched' areas in the Caribbean, because it is attractive to study-abroad undergraduates as…
