In this timely and remarkable book, Stuart Kirsch shows how anthropology can--and why it \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e--become more engaged with the problems of the world. \u003ci\u003eEngaged Anthropology \u003c\/i\u003edraws on the author's experiences working with indigenous peoples fighting for their environment, land rights, and political sovereignty. Including both short interventions and collaborations spanning decades, it recounts interactions with lawyers and courts, nongovernmental organizations, scientific experts, and transnational corporations. This unflinchingly honest account addresses the unexamined \"backstage\" of engaged anthropology. Coming at a time when some question the viability of the discipline, the message of this powerful and original work is especially welcome, as it not only promotes a new way of doing anthropology, but also compellingly articulates a new rationale for why anthropology matters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Kirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520297946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520297944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Stuart Kirsch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065002799359,"sku":"9780520297944","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89d1098b-3d16-4204-8455-ff063fea5ae6.jpg?v=1768672490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engaged-anthropology-stuart-kirsch-9780520297944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
