- Summary:
- Outsider Within presents an approach to critically reconstructing the discipline of anthropology to better encompass issues of gender and race. Among the nine key changes to the field that Faye V. Harrison advocates are researching in an ethically and politically responsible manner, promoting greater diversity in the discipline, rethinking theory, and committing to a genuine multicultural dialogue. Drawing from materials developed during her distinguished twenty-five-year career in Caribbean and African American studies, Harrison analyzes anthropology's limits and possibilities from an African American woman's perspective while challenging anthropologists to work together to transcend gender, racial, and national hierarchies.
