DEVELOPMENT 

OF

APPLIED 

ANTHROPOLOGY 

55

strictures 

of

time, 

personnel 

shortage, 

and

overload 

favor 

the

use

of

familiar 

binary 

logics. 

Nevertheless, 

anthropologists 

who

are

sensi-

tive 

to

this 

fact 

work 

hard 

to

learn 

the

language 

and

concerns 

of

policy 

makers 

and

examine 

carefully 

the

several 

levels 

at

which 

pol-

icies 

are

made 

and

modified. 

By

bringing 

policy 

formulation 

into 

the

realm 

of

empirical 

analysis, 

applied 

anthropologists 

often 

discover 

creative 

ways 

to

become 

engaged 

in

the

policy 

process 

itself. 

Students 

of

anthropology 

and

professional 

anthropologists 

who

are

planning 

careers 

in

applied 

anthropology 

require 

training 

in

the

dialogue 

between 

application 

and

theory 

construction, 

the

practice 

of

anthropology 

in

modern 

institutions 

and

the

communities 

they 

im-

pact, 

and

the

critique 

and

production 

of

public 

policy. 

This 

volume 

cannot 

and

does 

not

cover 

all

fields 

of

endeavor 

in

which 

applied 

anthropologists 

contribute 

to

theory 

and

practice, 

but

it

explicitly 

pro-

vides 

a

guide 

to

these 

three 

major 

areas.
