Description

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.
