| Contextualization on the expulsion of ABA members from the WAU Congress | ||
|
In recent weeks, the ABA has been confronted with the arbitrary expulsion of two of its members by the organizer of the Anthropology Congress that will take place in Guatemala in November. This is a unilateral and inexplicable decision that goes against the statutes of the WAU – World Anthropological Union (https://waunet.org/wau- In light of this fact, and in reaffirmation of the democratic values of our Association, the ABA Council took a firm stand by issuing the statement published in this bulletin, which was read by President Luciana Dias at the closing assembly of the RAM in Salvador, on August 8. In solidarity with this serious incident, the Latin American Association also expressed its indignation by issuing a statement of repudiation of these unwarranted expulsions, read at the same assembly by its President, Veronica Tessaro. In addition, several other leaders representing anthropologies from across Latin America also spoke out against the actions of the organizer of the anthropology congress in Guatemala. |

| ABA Statement on the Recent Expulsion of Brazilian Anthropologists from the WAU Congress | ||
|
In light of the recent expulsion of Brazilian anthropologists from the 2025 WAU (World Anthropological Union) Congress and the subsequent use of the institution’s global email list to defame these colleagues, the Associação Brasileira de Antropologia (ABA-Brazilian Association of Anthropology) wishes to express the following:
Since at least 2004, when the World Council of Anthropological Associations was founded at our national congress in Recife, the ABA has always cooperated in a supportive way to the development of a global community of anthropologists. Years later, in 2018, Brazil hosted a major, successful IUAES World Congress. Several Brazilian colleagues have dedicated their time and energy to consolidating both institutions. One of the colleagues mentioned in the unfortunate message has also served as chair of the WCAA. Sadly, the 2025 WAU Congress organizer's actions revealed his desire to damage the WAU. Without considering the consequences, he stated that he had denounced the Union to an American government agency at a time when the social sciences and humanities are vulnerable in that country.
At the same time, misuse of the WAU logo may have created the false impression that the message represented the Union’s official position. Therefore, we respectfully call on the WAU to grant the affected colleagues the right to defend themselves by disseminating this message and any others they deem necessary to set the record straight. We are confident that the WAU will uphold its democratic traditions. This message was approved by the Board of Directors of the Brazilian Association of Anthropology at the XV Meeting of Anthropology of the MERCOSUR, Salvador, Bahia, August 8, 2025. |
