The issue of practising anthropology in one's own society is the
focus of this volume of seventeen essays, originally published in
1981. The contributions, written by US and Canadian
anthropologists, deal with methods, theories and styles of doing
research in North America. Rich and sometimes candid descriptions
of the strategies and orienting concepts employed to order the data
and the research experience made this book a contribution to both
theory and method. Traditionally, the research domains of
anthropologists have been societies and cultures other than their
own. Research by anthropologists in their own societies received
renewed emphasis partly because of a heightened awareness of social
problems. This book examines how innovative scholars applied
anthropology to non-traditional research questions in urban and
rural society, in health and education systems, and in the field of
contract anthropology.
