Description:By working with underserved communities, anthropologists may play a larger role in democratizing society. The growth of disparities challenges anthropology to be used for social justice. This engaged stance moves the application of anthropological theory, methods, and practice toward action and activism. However, this engagement also moves anthropologists away from traditional roles of observation toward participatory roles that become increasingly involved with those communities or social groupings being studied. The chapters in this book suggest the roles anthropologists are able to play to bring us closer to a public anthropology characterized as engagement.Sam Beck is Senior Lecturer in the College of Human Ecology and Director of the Urban Semester Program of Cornell University. His publications include "Ethnicity and Nationalism in Southeastern Europe" (1981, ed with John W. Cole) and "Manny Almeida's Ringside Lounge: The Cape Verdean Struggle for their Neighborhood" (1992).Carl A. Maida is Professor in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at the University of California, Los Angeles.
