Fierce...Flawless...: Anthropology, Queer Theory, and Issues Regarding "Whiteness"

fyeahtranssexuals:

Modern queer theory (and much of anthropology, in fact) suffers from ethnocentrism and the ideas of “whiteness” that are so deeply embedded in American culture that it inhibits credibility and the way that the medical community sees and defines sex and culture.

About

Avatar i blog about anthropology, with a few personal opinions and anecdotes thrown in. i try not to make posts about subjects that are already trending on tumblr. i make an effort to share information that may be of interest but has been missed by the radar. dig my archives like an archaeologist with a new trowel. i do this because i have anthropological super powers bestowed upon me by the gods of academia. none of which are that powerful, aside from the mind bullets.

please check out the tumblrs i follow. there are many anthro related posts. although some of the tumblrs i follow are now tumblr tombs. other tumblrs represent populations i'm researching or perspectives i'm trying to better understand.
