Abstract:
The World Anthropologies section in this issue consists of essays written fairly quickly by anthropologists in various places in the world who responded to our request in early December 2016 for short- to medium-length essays due January 20. We thought the topic was clear, but it was apparently too broad for some and too daunting for others. We were, therefore, delighted with the number and range of essays we received and include here. Poland, Greece, India, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Japan feature quite visibly, but so does most of Europe, the United States (even if backgrounded here), and many other contemporary societies and countries around the world. Here is what we wrote—and what went out through the WCAA (World Council of Anthropological Associations) and the AA editorial board in early December: The WORLD ANTHROPOLOGIES section of AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST invites anthropologists living and working amid any of the growing nativist/nationalist/xenophobic/protectionist movements in various parts of the world, outside of the United States, to submit short- to medium-length pieces (anywhere from 1200 to 2000 words) to a special section planned for the September 2017 issue of American Anthropologist. Essays in this planned World Anthropologies section of AA may address how anthropologists respond to, interpret, analyze, engage with, resist, and/or teach about these movements, or how anthropologists in the past have responded to the rise of similar movements in their societies.
