Anthropologist in the public sphere : speaking out of war, peace

This anthology collects over fifty commentaries by nioted anthropologists such as Margaret Mead, Franz Boas, Marshall Sahlins, Laura Nader, Robert M. Hayden, and others who seek to undestand and explain the profound repercussions of U.S. involvement in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.Frequently drawing on their own fieldwork, the anthropologists go beyond the headlines to draw connections between indigenous cultures, corporate globalization, and contemporary political and economical crises.
