• Sommario/riassunto: Michael Singleton's 'Confessions d'un anthropologue' critically examines the Western concepts of ecology, economy, politics, and religion, challenging the reduction of developing countries to simplistic identities. Drawing from half a century of fieldwork in Africa, particularly with the WaKonongo of Tanzania, Singleton critiques the academic and colonial contributions to cultural identity theft. The book argues for recognizing cultural differences as a means to unleash liberating energies, rather than conforming to monolithic ideals. A former missionary, Singleton reflects on his transition from philosophy to anthropology, questioning established academic norms and advocating for pluralism in medical and cultural practices. The work is intended for scholars and students of anthropology and cultural studies, exploring the impacts of globalization on cultural identity.
