How do anthropologists work today and how will they work in future?
While some anthropologists have recently called for a new "public"
or "engaged" anthropology, profound changes have already occurred,
leading to new kinds of work for a large number of anthropologists.
The image of anthropologists "reaching out" from protected academic
positions to a vaguely defined "public" is out of touch with the
working conditions of these anthropologists, especially those
junior and untenured. The papers in this volume show that
anthropology is put to work in diverse ways today. They indicate
that the new conditions of anthropological work require significant
departures from canonical principles of cultural anthropology, such
as replacing ethnographic rapport with multiple forms of
collaboration. This volume's goal is to help graduate students and
early-career scholars accept these changes without feeling
something essential to anthropology has been lost. There really is
no other choice for most young anthropologists.
