Will advocacy involve the anthropologist in a contradiction damaging to the academic canons of the discipline? Originating in an international workshop as part of the XIth Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (1983), this book explores a growing concern among anthropologists about their moral responsibilities in the public arena. "This book represents the current debates in the field and is a summation...of the state of the art. It should (and probably will) be read widely."
--Mankind
"...the present volume will be a recurrent source of discussion."
--Ethnos
"Anybody teaching an Applied Anthropology course should seriously consider including Advocacy and Anthropology as either a text or source book."
