An anti-genealogical take on US anthropology and disciplinary reform
The "decolonizing generation" is a critical new movement that has captured the imaginations of many younger scholars. While the author would like to consider herself an older member of this generation, she questions whether this moment needs periodization. Is today's moment really so different from the past, when we saw the rise of world anthropologies, postmodernism, the crisis in representation, neo-Marxism, and anti-racist movements? And what …
Necropolitics versus Biopolitics
Anthropologists have used Michel Foucault's thesis on biopolitics to critique modern institutions. Yet while useful, biopolitics is often misapplied. The arrests, killings of unarmed Blacks by police, COVID-19 racial health inequities, and the January 6 white nationalist act of sedition made visible fault lines between a biopolitical system set up to care for whites and a necropolitical system that treats Black bodies as expendable. By critiquing…

Anthropology in and of Moocs
The suddenness with which Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs, sprang upon us left many within the academy grasping for interpretations. Early proponents touted them as revolutionary tools that could enhance on-campus learning while also making high-quality education accessible to a vast global population, reforming a malfunctioning university system, and producing new kinds of data on how people learn. Critics countered that behind this latest…

Informing choice or teaching submission to medical authority
For the past 15 years, cultural competency training has been considered one of the best approaches for improving patient care. The rationale for cultural competency is that if a physician understands a patient's 'culture' he or she can better communicate with, and therefore treat, a patient. This research demonstrates that perhaps a better approach is for patients to be taught how medical professionals think and how healthcare institutions ration…
Patient and practitioner noncompliance
Currently, the life expectancy of black Americans is about five years shorter than that of white Americans when factoring for gender. Poor patient compliance is often used as an explanation for why black people have worse health outcomes. The proof, however, is anecdotal and relies primarily on discourses about black people's general dysfunction. Black patients often respond in kind to problems they experience with health care access. They often …
Aids and American Apocalypticism
Performing a quick review of the literature on apocalypticism one will find analyses of Bruce Willis, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stephen King, and the X-Files. Perhaps these are not the prophetic voices of cosmic redemption that John had in mind when he recorded the Book of Revelation, yet scholars like Thomas Long find within popular culture attempts to create a totalizing worldview that is as much about social recovery as redemption. These narra…
Pious Muslim Bodies and Alternative Medicine
“Pious Muslim Bodies and Alternative Medicine” explores the emergence of what might be conceptualized as a Muslim gendered diaspora and how it intersects with the African diaspora. Literature on the development of a Muslim public sphere tends to focus on written texts and how those texts are interpreted by Muslim groups within the ummah, or world community. This article explores not only the exegetical borrowings but also the continuities and dis…

Purity, Soul Food, and Sunni Islam
Contemporary African American followers of Sunni Islam are self-consciously articulating a form of eating that they see as liberating them from the heritage of slavery, while also bringing them into conformity with Islamic notions of purity. In so doing, they participate in arguments about the meaning of "soul food," the relation between "Western" materialism and "Eastern" spirituality, and bodily health and its relation to mental liberation. Deb…
If she's a vegetable, we'll be her garden
In this article, I explore a struggle between parents and medical professionals to define the meaning and value of a critically ill child, Jasperlynn. I argue that the parents, who refused to sign a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, transformed the perceptions of the medical professionals by affiliating themselves with powerful moral signifiers. In particular, I explore the roles of embodiment and transcendence as they relate to the contest over th…
