Anne-Maria Makhulu is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and African and African American Studies at Duke University. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 2003. Her research interests cover: Africa and more specifically South Africa, cities, space, globalization, political economy, occult economies, neoliberalism, Marxism, anthropology of finance, as well as questions of aesthetics, including the literature and cinema of South Africa. She is currently working on a book manuscript entitled "The Geography of Freedom: Revolution and the South African City." The project examines the status and meaning of the South African city under apartheid and immediately after the transition to democracy focusing on the ways in which matters of citizenship, labor, and race critically intersected with the “urban,” and thereby came to constitute it as a strategic space in which marginal subjects, specifically, the black metropolitan poor, sought to make claims on the apartheid state. Makhulu is a contributor to "Producing African Futures: Ritual and Reproduction in a Neoliberal Age" (2004), and "New Ethnographies of Neoliberalism" (2010). She is a co-editor of "Hard Work, Hard Times: Global Volatility and African Subjectivities" (forthcoming 2010).
