The American Anthropologist Summaries (1888-2000)
Center for a Public Anthropology, Hawaii Pacific University, HI, USA
Supplied note: "You can use the archive to search for any author, name, subject, or cultural group [in all parts of the world, incl. Asia - ed.] written about in the 'American Anthropologist' from 1888 through 2000 and can get a summary of what was said by whom. [...] The project, involving more than 70 schools from Canada and the United States, presents what might be termed a 'bifocal' view of the material. "Bifocal" refers to the fact that there are two summaries by two different students at two different schools for each article and obituary. The goal is to avoid the biases implicit in single-authored reviews so common today. We have completed roughly 75% of the 8,000 summaries involved in the American Anthropologist portion of the project and expect to complete the rest this fall. If you or colleagues are interested in having one of your classes participate in the project for Current Anthropology or Human Organization this coming spring - I would stress it works best when done as a set of class assignments - all you have to do send me an e-mail at borofsky@hpu.edu or you can click on: http://www.publicanthropology.org/Archive/HowToParticipate.htm to find out more about the project. - rb."
