Anthropologists, Indigenous Scholars and the Research Endeavour Summary

Anthropologists, Indigenous Scholars and the Research Endeavour: Seeking Bridges Towards Mutual Respect by Joy Hendry (Oxford Brookes University, UK)

This collection offers the fruits of a stimulating workshop that sought to bridge the fraught relationship which sometimes continues between anthropologists and indigenous/native/aboriginal scholars, despite areas of overlapping interest. Participants from around the world share their views and opinions on subjects ranging from ideas for reconciliation, the question of what might constitute a universal science, indigenous heritage, postcolonial museology, the boundaries of the term indigeneity, different senses as ways of knowing, and the very issue of writing as a method of dissemination that divides and excludes readers from different backgrounds. This book represents a landmark step in the process of replacing bridges with more equal patterns of intercultural cooperation and communication.
