This timely book deepens understanding of the intersection between engaged anthropology and the decolonial turn. It explores the meaning of a reinvigorated decolonial gaze for engaged anthropological practice, and assembles leading interdisciplinary experts to assess colonialism in its many contemporary forms. Contributors highlight the value of prioritising practice-based conversations and avoiding the pitfalls of reductive narratives, whether narrowly defined as colonial or positioned as pioneering the decolonial turn. They demonstrate how engaged anthropology involves deep reflexivity both in terms of everyday practice and the remaking of more equitable relationships. Chapters investigate key themes surrounding decolonisation, such as strategies, feminist research as collaborative education, awareness and funding structures, presenting a fluid and non-hierarchical approach to the practice of decolonial anthropology. Innovative in content and scope, Decolonial Engagements in Anthropology is an essential resource for scholars and students of anthropology, postcolonial studies, museum studies and related social science disciplines. NGO policymakers and activists will likewise benefit from its astute analysis and broad scope.
