Transforming Anthropology

Transforming Anthropology is the flagship journal for the Association of Black Anthropologists. Transforming Anthropology is published semiannually.

As the chief publication of the Association of Black Anthropologists, Transforming Anthropology advances scholarship across the four fields and beyond. We seek contributions that reflect the dynamic, transnational, and contested conditions of the social worlds, and work that pushes the boundaries of discipline and genre. The publication interrogates the contemporary and historical construction of

social inequities based on race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, nationality and other invidious distinctions. We remain committed to publishing material that generates dialogues among communities of scholars, activists, artists, and the people with whom they work. We invite the submission of research articles for peer review, as well as short commentaries, research reports, review essays, interviews, and other innovative formats. Submissions from advanced graduate students are especially welcome.
