Drawing on a massive personal archive, this book offers rare insights into
the history and making of southern African anthropology through an analysis
of the life and work of Monica Wilson, amongst ****South Africa****’s most
distinguished anthropologists. Authors focus on her fieldwork projects and
the role of her interpreters and collaborators in the production of
anthropological knowledge. ****
‘…uncovers an “unofficial” history of anthropology from ****South
Africa****…shows
how anthropology emerges not just as an expression of theory or the
genealogy of its leading figures, but through the unfolding of diverse
lives.’ – Nancy Jacobs ****
‘…a major and welcome contribution to African anthropology increasingly in
need of evidence of intellectual history and reflexivity in knowledge
production.’ – Francis B. Nyamnjoh ****

*The Unofficial History of African Anthropology *
** **
The evening will include a panel discussion on history and anthropology in
southern African studies with: Andrew Bank, Wayne Dooling, Deborah James,
Shula Marks, Rebecca Marsland and Timothy Mwakasekele. ****
