Document Summary
20th century gives way to people asserting identity based on gender, race, sexuality, religion, etc. Human rights: un declaration of human rights post ww2. Ideas surrounding humans having inherent rights, who is human, etc. Pre ww2 literature on the topic of race was a big deal, the idea of race in general was a big deal. Now anthropology is concerned with going after racial thinking, everyone is the same race, same species, etc. Some indigenous communities rejecting this, claiming they must be a different species from the rest of us. Anthropologists were important to south african (anti)apartheid movements. Consumption habits help define counter cultures; music, clothing, literature. Social movements arise in opposition to something, whether a specific event or general issue. Modernity akin to convenience; technology that makes everything easier. Whole lot of steps, politics, and bureaucracy that goes into simple things like getting a water pump built in a village.
