Native American movements and critical anthropology
Anthropological theory has always been subject to the encounter with important social movements. The social radicalization in the seventies led to the emergence of a Marxist inspired anthropology, then to a feminist anthropology. Presently the rise of indigenous movements is accompanied by the elaboration of increase in auto-ethnography, by members of an educated native youth. Each in its own way, these three trends all contribute to a critique of anthropology.
