This book is a collection of original case studies describing
anthropological knowledge successfully translated into action. It
describes the targeted problem or issue, his or her role as an
anthropologist, the specific anthropological skills or knowledge
used, and the results of the work.
This text presents twenty-five original case studies that show
working anthropologists solving problems in government and
industry. The chapters are expanded versions of the 1981-1983
winning entries from the annual Praxis competition. In each
chapter, the author describes the targeted problem or issue, his or
her role as an anthropologist, the specific anthropological skills
or knowledge used, and the results of the work. These in-depth
studies demonstrate ways in which anthropological knowledge is
applicable to real-life situations. The introduction, by coeditors
Robert M. Wulff and Shirley J. Fiske, sets the agenda for
understanding the dimensions of applied anthropology today. The
editors examine the anthropologist's role in public management and
the policy process. This provocative text is a must for any
introductory applied anthropology course, graduate or
undergraduate, used alone as a casebook or in conjunction with a
more theoretically based applied anthropology text. It is an
excellent guide for anthropologists hoping to work outside academia
or for the mid-career anthropologist thinking of a career switch as
well as for students embarking on internships.
