Dialectical Anthropology

Aims & Scope

Dialectical Anthropology is an international journal that seeks to invigorate discussion among left intellectuals by publishing peer-reviewed articles, editorials, letters, reports from the field, political exchanges, and book reviews.

The journal aims to foster open debate through criticism, research and commentary from across the social sciences and humanities.

It provides a forum for work with a pronounced dialectical approach to social theory and political practice for scholars, public intellectuals, and activists who are interested in Marxism and political-economy.

The journal also welcomes submissions from those who wish to be in dialogue or debate with these traditions.

Since 1975, Dialectical Anthropology has been dedicated to working towards the transformation of class society through internationalizing conversations that focus on crises of capitalism and the means for social change.
