A collection essays from Barbara Glowczewski's 40 years of research with Aboriginal Australians in conversation with 20th-century philosophy This collection of essays charts the intellectual trajectory of Barbara Glowczewski, an anthropologist who has worked with the Warlpiri people of Australia since 1979. She shows that the ways Aboriginal people actualise virtualities of their Dreaming space-time into collective networks of ritualised places resonate with Guattarian and Deleuzian concepts. Inspired by the art and struggles of different Indigenous people and other discriminated groups, especially women, Glowczewski draws on her own conversations with Guattari, and her debates with various scholars to deliver an innovative agenda for radical anthropology.

Reviews
'Indigenising Anthropology is not merely a collection of essays spanning the storied career of Barbara Glowczewski. It is a homage to a philosophical space that grew between Glowczewski's long and intimate intellectual relationship with Felix Guattari and her equally committed conceptual dialogue with Indigenous Australians. Glowczewski's thoughts glow with a scholarly originality and political potentiality desperately needed today.' -- Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Columbia University. 'These fascinating essays retrace an engagement over forty years with Anthropology, Australian Indigenous people and the thought of Guattari and Deleuze. By turns anthropological field notes, theoretical essay and personal memoir, they provide a unique perspective on the intersection of these domains. They open a window on to the intellectual and spiritual resources, and politics, of Aboriginality in the contemporary world. Highly recommended to anyone interested in these matters.' -- Paul Patton, UNSW and Wuhan University
