{"product_id":"anthrohistory-david-cohen-9780472051359","title":"Anthrohistory: Unsettling Knowledge, Questioning Discipline","description":"\u003cp\u003eStretching back to the 1950s, interdisciplinary work between anthropology and history has taken diverse expressions. Yet it has developed with more coherence since the 1980s, largely in response to the declining promise of global modernity and the rise of poststructuralism and deconstructionism. Through a critical and contemporary engagement with this wave of scholarship, this volume challenges readers to think of work at the crossroads of anthropology and history as transdisciplinary and anthrohistorical, moving beyond a partial integration of the disciplines as it critically evaluates their assumptions and trajectories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach permits \u003ci\u003eAnthrohistory: Unsettling Knowledge, Questioning Discipline\u003c\/i\u003e to present a broader perspective that unsettles the constraints of existing academic practice. The volume does not offer a blueprint for fulfilling this goal, but rather a variety of positions taken by anthrohistorians who work in diverse contexts. Adopting an innovative and accessible style, \u003ci\u003eAnthrohistory\u003c\/i\u003e opens a provocative window into broader questions of interdisciplinarity, representation, epistemology, methodology, and social commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Murphy is Assistant Professor of History and Global Urban Studies at Michigan State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid William Cohen is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Professor Emeritus of History, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, University of Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChandra D.
