Publisher: Berghahn Journals

Focaal advocates an approach that rests in the simultaneity of ethnography, processual analysis, local insights, and global vision, and is rooted in debates on the ongoing conjunction of anthropology and history and the incorporation of local settings in wider spatial networks of coercion, imagination, and exchange. While encouraging contributions on all world regions, it is unique among anthropology journals for its affiliation with 'anthropology at home' and studies of 'the West', Europe and post-socialism. The journal is also interested in issues of globalization, imperialism, and associated violent and disruptive processes, as well as their ramifications for local research settings and for theory and method.
