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.
