About this title

From the Author:

"Finding Action Anthropology and learning about the efforts of its first- and second-generation practitioners was important, because it provided a solid foundation from which we could work. Once we had Action Anthropology to ground us, the work was not necessarily any easier; but the uncertainty, struggles, and stress over every decision subsided. Action Anthropology did not give us the answers, but it gave us a process and a set of values from which to move forward." (From the Preface)

From the Inside Flap:

"This memoir is for the many applied social scientists and other professionals working in complex cultural settings. It is especially for those professionals working with indigenous peoples and other groups competing to survive in the modern world. The contributions in this volume provide insight from three generations of anthropologists, all of whom have actively worked in multicultural settings in order to understand and improve conditions. The book adds to the professional literature concerning applied anthropology, Action Anthropology, and other contemporary approaches to collaborative community practice." [from the Introduction, p. 1]
