In this episode of The Coffee Hour, Adam sits down with anthropology professor Dr. Jane Saffitz to discuss the persecution of people with albinism in Tanzania and the incredibly toxic and problematic Western narrative surrounding it. They talk about Anthropology’s role in human rights, how NGOs can both help and hurt their causes, the colonialist origins of the persecution and the role of Anthropology in the modern world.

All this and more on The Coffee Hour.
