"Students will really appreciate this book. It has a rare
combination of humor, clarity, exceptional writing, and, above all,
a precision in outlining skills and knowledge for practice. As a
professional, I learned much that will be useful to me." -Alexander
M. Ervin, University of Saskatchewan "At last, a textbook on
development anthropology that is comprehensive, clearly written,
and up-to-date! Nolan provides an exceptionally useful framework
for analyzing development projects, carefully illustrated with
mini-case studies." -Linda Stone, Washington State University
"Nolan's book should be a backpack staple for the practitioner of
grassroots development." -Jan Knippers Black, Monterey Institute of
International Studies Development Anthropology is a detailed
examination of anthropology's many uses in international
development projects. Written from a practitioner's standpoint and
containing numerous examples and case studies, the book provides
students with a comprehensive overview of what development
anthropologists do, how they do it, and what problems they
encounter in their work. The book outlines the evolution of both
applied anthropology and international development and their
involvement with each other throughout the latter half of the
twentieth century. It focuses on how development projects work and
how anthropology is used in project design, implementation, and
evaluation. The final section of the book considers how both
development and anthropology must change in order to become more
effective. An appendix provides practical advice to students
considering a career in development anthropology.
