What is Reversed Gaze : An African Ethnography of American Anthropology about?

\"Reversed Gaze enters into a growing anthropological conversation on representation and self-reflexivity that ethnographers have come to regard as standard anthropological practice, opening up new dialogues in the field by allowing anthropologists to see the role played by subjective positions in shaping knowledge production and consumption. Recognizing the cultural and racial biases that shape anthropological study, this book reveals the potential for diverse participation and more democratic decision making in the identity and process of the profession.\"--From publisher description Imagining Anthropology, Encountering America -- Tripping On Race, Training Anthropologists -- Of Monkeys, Africans, And The Pursuit Of The Other -- Remembering Home, Contrasting Experiences -- Mega-anthropology : The Aaa Annual Meetings -- A New Paradigm For Twenty-first-century Anthropology?
