Also, @monicaMedHist @dorothyk98 and @carolinepennock all have important perspectives on this.
As I was quite clear when I tweeted my specific full critique of this introduction, where exactly is global MA anything but a continuation of the white gaze? How can you discuss bottom-up methodology with no discussion of under commons, maroon histories, decolonization, poco etc?

I didn’t write that introduction. Perhaps you’d do me the courtesy of reading my actual contribution before commenting?

Fair point. The introduction creates a cloud for the entire special issue.

as there have been excellent decolonial and postcolonial critiques of such projects, why exactly did we decide that the white experts were going to decide this vocab? And we are going to avoid addressing erasure & genocide from white settler colonialism and empire?

The intro. read like a return to 19th-c white anthropology. But you still use the idea of "European voyage of discovery"... So yes, as a straightforward critique, I find the introduction deeply problematic, white-gaze focused, ignoring a whole host of discussions & critiques.
