Anthropology in Use

Presenting descriptions of over 400 case studies on policy research, community action and development projects, this book offers also a history of applied anthropology. The topically organized entries cover 50 years of efforts in the field. In an extensive introductory essay, Dr van Willigen draws upon this material to analyze and discuss the trends and future of applied anthropology. The book is intended not only for practitioners and students, but also development specialists in other disciplines, and policymakers.
