Humbling anthropology
In this essay, I propose a process of humbling anthropology in order to counter the (re)production of White ignorance. I argue that anthropology’s epistemological foundation, in its contemporary liberal guise of an ego reflexivus, remains firmly rooted in the discipline’s colonial past. By drawing from my own experiences of confronting racism and Whiteness in the academy and the discipline, I trace my process of humbling and relate it to the anth…
Decolonizing ethnographies
For this Currents section, we have called upon anthropologists across the global South and North in the attempt to mainstream the long overdue issue of decolonizing ethnographies.

In enacting colonial permanence and h…

As a collective we have studied, worked and taught in more than 15 universities, and the aspects we point to here are fragmen…
