The section can include papers from memorials, interviews, translations, tributes, among other articles and/or essays, which allow the reader to get to know and discuss specific perspectives of the field of Anthropology and the Social Sciences. The contributions received are evaluated by the Editorial Board.

Reviews - This section accepts original reviews of books published in Brazil or abroad in the last three years, relevant to the field of Anthropology and Social Sciences. It is desirable that the texts submitted contain an overview of the book's content and perspective, of the field and/or area of study, as well as the author's background and the context in which the work was produced. In addition to this overview, the reviews should prioritize a critical and analytical perspective on the work reviewed.
Submitted reviews must be unpublished and respect the principles of good scientific practice. Reviews of works which have already been reviewed in Antropolítica will not be accepted. Contributions received are evaluated by the Editorial Committee.

Peer Review Policy

All submissions will go through an initial screening in which they are evaluated by the Editorial Board to decide their suitability to the submission guidelines and the editorial line of Antropolítica. After approval, submissions will be evaluated by a double blind review process. Each article will always be submitted to two reviewers, and the identities of the reviewers and authors will be kept confidential. In case of contrary decisions, the article will be forwarded to a third reviewer. If the controversy persists, the decision will be made by the editor responsible for the article, in consultation with the Editorial Board. All authors will receive copies of the evaluations of their articles and, eventually, of the editor's comments.

The results of the evaluation can be: Should be published, no changes; Should be published, but superficial revision is needed; Should be published, but thorough revision is needed; Should be reworked and resubmitted; Should not be published. Publication depends on approval by the reviewers and compliance with the submission guidelines. The estimated average time for evaluation and publication of articles is 06 months to 12 months, respectively.
