The book Profiles of Anthropological Praxis is something of a sequel to Anthropological Praxis: Translating Knowledge into Action, published in 1987 (Westview Press).  As a casebook of anthropological projects, the new version shares a fascinating breadth of award-winning projects undertaken by applied anthropologists to address the needs of an array of stakeholders and situations. Each chapter will describe a problem and how a project attempted to address it with the following structure: Problem Overview, Project Description, Anthropologist’s Role and Impact, Outcomes, and the Anthropological Difference – that is, how the unique approaches of anthropology were effectively applied to address human problems.

Terry M. Redding is currently a Strategic Communications Specialist with a maternal and child health project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He has served as president of the Washington Association of Professional Anthropologists and as communications chair for the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology.
