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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781782380375 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781782380375 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781782380375/original ER -
