Issue Information

Anthropology and Humanism (AH) concerns the central question of the discipline: "What is it to be human?"AH welcomes contributions from all major fields of anthropology and from scholars in other social sciences and the humanities.It seeks to bring out the intricate and contradictory processes of life in cultural context-including those of the anthropologist.Whether working with life histories or demographics, poetics or nutrition, artistic expression or scientific writing, this journal strives to maintain a focus on the human actors themselves.AH values writing that delights, writing that outrages, writing that evokes the human condition in all its messiness, glory, and misery-writing that reveals the blockages that are deleterious to our social and physical environment, and is thus able to promote cross-cultural understanding.
