Forgive a bit of self-promotion:
Toward Engaged Anthropology
Sam Beck and Carl A. Maida
Berghahn Press
By working with underserved communities, anthropologists may play a larger role in democratizing society. The growth of disparities challenges anthropology to be used for social justice. This engaged stance moves the application of anthropological theory,method, and practice toward action and activism. However, this engagement also moves anthropologists away from traditional roles of observation toward participatry roles that become increasingly involved with those communities or social groupings being studied. The chaptes in this book suggest the roles anthropolists are able to play to bring us closer to a public anthropology characterised as engagement.
Thanks you,
Sam
