Africanizing Anthropology tells the story of the anthropological fieldwork centered at the RhodesLivingstone Institute in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) during the midtwentieth century. Focusing on collaborative processes rather than on the activity of individual researchers, Lyn Schumaker gives the assistants and informants of anthropologists a central role in the making of anthropological knowledge.Schumaker shows how local conditions and local ideas about culture and history, as well as previous experience of outsiders interest, shape local peoples responses to anthropological fieldwork and help them, in turn, to influence the construction of knowledge about their societies and lives. Bringing to the fore a wide range of actorsmissionaries, administrators, settlers, the families of anthropologistsSchumaker emphasizes the daily practices of researchers, demonstrating how these are as centrally implicated in the making of anthropological knowlege as the disciplines methods.
