Can research findings be authentic and objective? Are anthropologists able to use their data to aid the participants of their study, and is that aid always welcome? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Engaged Observer, \u003c\/i\u003eVictoria Sanford and Asale Angel-Ajani bring together an international array of scholars who have been embedded in some of the most conflict-ridden and dangerous zones in the world to reflect on the role and responsibility of anthropological inquiry. They explore issues of truth and objectivity, the role of the academic, the politics of memory, and the impact of race, gender, and social position on the research process. Through ethnographic case studies, they offer models for conducting engaged research and illustrate the contradictions and challenges of doing so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Sanford, Asale Angel-Ajani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813538920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813538921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.58d","brand":"Victoria Sanford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980595790079,"sku":"9780813538921","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_625d24d3-aca4-4bfc-b777-d8aa0af9ef5f.jpg?v=1683250803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engaged-observer-victoria-sanford-9780813538921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
