“…While the anticipation of violence can unsettle senses of space and collective futures (Hermez, 2017), notions of “progress” can entrench elitist logics that hinder challenges to settler colonialism (Rabie, 2021). Critiques of the violence wrought by neoliberalism and the socialities, spaces, and bodies it produces are crucial to understanding colonial logics today (Elyachar, 2005; Maidhof, 2022).…”

In the anthropology of Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA), there is an effort underway to decolonize the field. This process is taking shape in academic writing, in academic institutions, in field practices, and among broader publics. It must arise from priorities in the region; it also builds on wider scholarship on race, indigeneity, and militarism. It requires an expansion of the bounds of politics, consideration of who can participate, and reconsideration of what the goals of political action are. It entails working toward liberations that are always plural. Decolonizing SWANA anthropology faces distinct challenges in the field, the university, and publication processes because scholars produce critiques that expose contemporary colonialisms, including those related to the long war on terror, Israeli settler colonialism, and other colonialisms in the region. Thus, scholars equip themselves with tools to confront and transform academic institutions. Collaborative research designed to produce change can be an important part of decolonizing anthropology, but such research is not possible across all settings.
