They pay particular attention to the social and cultural lives of two men who were central proponents of South African anthropology's 'two tales'; Kees van der Waal, a former \u003cem\u003evolkekundige\u003c\/em\u003e, and John Sharp, once one of \u003cem\u003evolkekunde's\u003c\/em\u003e fiercest critics. Through a series of conversations with Kees and John, they show that the issues that once divided a local field still animate the ways in which centres and peripheries of global anthropology relate to one another and to foundational questions about the discipline's epistemology and political positionality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 282\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45602692366380,"sku":"9789956552771","price":66.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/nationalism-politics-and-anthropology-a-tale-of-two-south-africans-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
