Résumé

Cette entrée explore l'histoire et les origines de l'anthropologie afro-américaine. On s'interroge sur la manière de penser une telle anthropologie produite par et pour les Afro-Américains. Ceci jette une lumière sur les pionniers de cette anthropologie et sur ses idées clefs, ses lignes directrices, ses débats et ses développements.
