Introductions to Engaged Anthropology Series
Introductions to Engaged Anthropology is a series of thematic books by individual authors that demonstrate how an anthropological perspective contributes to reframing the public discourse on important and timely social issues. Volumes are thoughtful nuanced treatments on subjects that are publicly, ethically, and politically relevant in a changing world, and are of intellectual importance not only within anthropology, but in other fields such as law, gender, human sexuality, and health and social welfare. An important objective of this new series is not just social critique, but active engagement in the problems of broader global communities.
Introductions to Engaged Anthropology books are written primarily for students, educators and intellectuals to provide a deeper analysis of the social, political and ethical debates in which anthropological and cross-cultural analyses are vital contributions to the public discourse, and help to redefine public policy.
