  • Anthropology and Power to the People? Gillian Tett
    Anthropology and Power to the People? Gillian Tett A couple of decades ago, I took a career move that seemed somewhat odd: Page 1 of 4 after I completed a PhD in social anthropology, I joined the Financial JBA 3(1): 132-135 Times newspaper to report on business and economics. At the time, my Spring 2014 colleagues were often baffled by the fact that I had studied anthropology, © The Author(s) 2014 not economics. So were many of the business executives and policy ISSN 2245-4217 makers I met. www.cbs.dk/jba That was no surprise. After all, in decades past, anthropologists and business leaders have often appeared to inhabit entirely different social tribes, in the Western world. The former were perceived to be devoted to studying exotic cultures and living fairly anti-establishment lives that were suspicious of money or capitalism; the latter were at the heart of the capitalist system and were usually far more interested in analyzing hard numbers than soft social issues. To a hard-bitten economist, banker or policy maker, a subject such as anthropology was thus apt to seem rather “hippy,” as one senior financier once remarked to me. Meanwhile, to many anthropologists, the world of Western business was not just morally dubious – but very boring compared to all the other issues and cultures that could be studied. Indeed, the gulf was so large that when I started my own PhD in anthropology at Cambridge University, in 1989, it never even occurred to me to study Western business: instead I headed off to Soviet Tajikistan, to study marriage rituals and ethnic identity in a remote mountain community; that fitted my idea (or prejudice) of what anthropology “should” be about.

  • Contemporary Africa Re-Represented: Perspectives from Ghana
    Contemporary Africa Re-Represented: Perspectives from Ghana AFRS 3500 (3 Credits / 45 hours) SIT Study Abroad Program: Ghana: Africa in the 21st Century PLEASE NOTE: This syllabus represents a recent semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Course Description Narratives and perspectives of Africa are shaped as much by mainstream debates and popular representations as they are by socio-political realities on the continent. Drawing on theories of representation this course brings a critical perspective to how popular images and discourses have represented the social realities in Africa today. The course will connect back to the galvanizing frameworks of imperial and colonial representations and then explore how western imaginations, colonialists and colonization, development discourses, and the popular media have contributed to constructing a space and place called “Africa” and an identity of “Africanness”. The course draws on visits to sites that Ghanaian society designates as historically and culturally significant, media organizations, government and non-government organizations, to obtain empirical insights into Ghana’s social realities. The course exposes students to alternative frameworks for conceptualizing African social realities and equips them with a knowledge base and with new ways to engage with international or “exotic” locations. By interrogating contemporary popular discourses on Africa, how policy and development theory and practice frames and engages with Africa, students obtain new insights and perspective on Africa’s social realities and students’ positionality in relation to them. Students with interests in international careers or international development work should find this course essential to their professional careers.

  • Moyo Joins the Frey
    BOOK REVIEWS Moyo Joins the Frey By Anya Schiffrin DeadAid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better WayforAfrica. By Dambisa Moyo. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2009. 192 pp. US $24.00 (hardcover) ISBN 0374139563 The question of development in Africa continues to provoke debate. Over the last few years this debate has polarized into two broad camps, each with its own set of books and gurus. The first-loosely defined by free market principles-argues that aid does not help Africa and only makes things worse. The second camp-most notably Jeffrey Sachs and Bono-believes that the problems lie in the amount of aid spent. Of course, such debates are not new and have been going on in the development and economics community for decades. However, the argument between Sachs and Easterly has recently been taken public and, in some cases, gotten rather personal. Former World Bank economist William Easterly has criticized Jeffrey Sachs' approach to development, and questions whether aid hinders development by allowing African states to subsist without needing to develop their national economies. Sachs (understandably) takes offense and feels his work is being undermined, especially since Easterly has become a darling of those on the right, who are generally opposed to spending money on aid and can now cite Easterly's work when asking Sachs to defend his positions.' The Easterly/Sachs feud became public in 2005 when Easterly gave a critical review in the Washington Post of Sachs' book, The End of Poverty. Easterly's own book, The Elusive Quest for Growth, gave a potted history of development theory over the last fifty years and explained what did not work and why.
