Overview
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 that foster open debate through criticism, research and commentary from across the social sciences and humanities.
The journal provides a forum for work with a pronounced dialectical approach to social theory and political practice for scholars and activists working in Marxist and broadly political-economic traditions, and those who wish to be in dialogue or debate with these traditions.
Since its founding by Stanley Diamond in 1975, Dialectical Anthropology has been dedicated to the transformation of class society through internationalizing conversations about the stakes of contemporary crises and the means for social change. For five decades, the pages of the journal have provided space for comment, criticism, agreement, and disagreement about significant issues of our times.
Dialectical Anthropology is committed to reaching beyond an Anglophone readership via submissions, dialogue and active participation in languages other than English, and an editorial policy that promotes collaborations beyond the traditional concerns of Western academics.

Special Issue: "Labour Politics in an Age of Precarity" free to access through February
This special issue interrogates how the precaritization of labor affects the form and possibilities of contemporary work-based politics. It does so in reference to ethnographic research conducted in a wide variety of contexts that consider how the experience of precarity vary between the Global North and South. It demonstrates strategies, histories, and experiences from South, East, and Central Asia, as well as the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America in order to analyze how labor politics are embedded in daily life and what it means to live with risk, resistance, aspiration, bureaucracy, morality, class conflict, and the state.
