Who are 'We'? : Reimagining Alterity and Affinity in Anthropology

Who do `we' anthropologists think `we' are? And how do forms and notions of collective disciplinary identity shape the way we think, write and do anthropology? This volume explores how the anthropological `we' has been construed, transformed and deployed across history and the global anthropological landscape. Drawing together both reflections and ethnographic case studies, it interrogates the critical - yet poorly studied - roles played by myriad anthropological `we's in generating and influencing anthropological theory, method and analysis. In the process, new spaces are opened for reimagining who `we' are-and what `we', and indeed anthropology, could become.
