Abstract

The introduction to the book outlines the idea that postcolonial debates and approaches are an ongoing process towards a new form of anthropology. Consequently the aim of the anthology is defined as the attempts to expand, broaden, enrich and revise current debates and approaches in order to contribute from different perspectives and drawing on different empirical material and research sites for such a transformation. The three focal points of the book (Methodologies in Postcolonial Anthropology; Glocalized Religions, Revitalized Spirituality and Plural Narratives of Modernity; and Globalisation, Migration and Representation) are briefly discussed in this introduction, and the individual contributions are located in the broader debates and contexts.
