<em>“</em>Toward Engaged Anthropology <em>critically exposes the power relationships and asymmetries that constrain a legitimately engaged scholarship and that disconnect academics not only from the broader outside communities but from the core principles of the discipline… an excellent book, recommended for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and professionals working not only in anthropology but in all types of community research.”</em> <strong>· Collaborative Anthropologies</strong></p>

<em>“This is a very rich collection with a variety of different perspectives highlighted. Anthropology has always been engaged, but not necessarily with the right co-respondents. As the ‘ontological turn’ takes hold, it is this sort of anthropology that is at the cutting edge in the exploration of new paradigms.”</em> <strong>· Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale</strong></p>

<em>“The book does not shy away from variations in the experience of engaged anthropology. This avoids any attempts at a homogenous definition for engagement, and instead emphasises the discipline’s flexibility and the importance of context in informing the form research and engagement should take. The texts are relevant to seasoned researchers and accessible to students and activists preparing their first field research. As such, this is a valuable contribution to the debate on the role of the researcher in society.”</em> <strong>· Anthropological Notebooks</strong></p>
