Applied Anthropology in Latin America: Towards a Hemispheric Dialogue
While practicing applied anthropology reflects nation-based interests and contradictions regarding the use of knowledge in the realms of academia, policy, and politics, the interpenetration of knowledge is also influenced by power disparities across countries. This special issue employs a historical and hemispherical perspective to understand Latin American applied anthropology by (1) sharing recent work by Latin American applied anthropologists …
United States Nationals in Argentina: The Relevance of the Middle Class Abroad to Migration Studies
A concentration on the economic, social, and political impact of new arrivals on the United States has obscured understanding of the departure of United States middle-class cohorts abroad. This article claims that United States emigration and expatriation are relevant to understanding the United States nation-state. This human geographical displacement remains understudied by researchers and unnoticed by policymakers. Addressing two research ques…
Antropología Aplicada en América Latina: Hacia un Diálogo Hemisférico

Este número especial emplea una perspectiva histórica y hemisférica para entender la antropología aplicada latinoamericana: (1) compa…
Fronteras en El Lenguaje, El Publicar, Y Poder
Antropólogos aplicados en el mundo de inglés-hablantes suelen ignorar publicaciones en otros lenguajes; las instituciones les dan énfasis a las publicaciones en inglés y les dan menos credibilidad o valor a otros lenguajes. Inclusive, antropólogos aplicados escribiendo en lenguajes que no son en inglés frecuentemente escogen fuentes en inglés. La invisibilidad de la antropología aplicada que no sea en inglés disminuye la riqueza de nuestro campo,…
Language Boundaries, Publishing, and Power
Applied anthropologists in the English-speaking world tend to disregard publications in other languages; institutions emphasize English-language publishing and give less credence or value to work in other languages. Even applied anthropologists writing in non-English languages often privilege English sources. The invisibility of non-English applied anthropology diminishes the richness of our field, as we miss opportunities to gain insights from d…
Framing Migration
The physical movement of a human being from his or her place of birth to another locality, a process that occurs over time as well as space, is usually known as migration. Together with fertility and mortality, migration helps track population changes. Migration also helps capture the political mood of a country, as migrants are perceived as either as threats or welcome additions. Anthropologists tend to think about migration from the perspective…

The Protest Psychosis: How Schizophrenia Became a Black Disease by Jonathan Metzl
Researching Global Spaces Ethnographically: Queries on Methods for the Study of Virtual Populations
As with other nation-states, the United States population comprises people living both within as well as outside its geographical borders. Studying United States nationals living abroad presents interesting methodological challenges: on the one hand, there is paucity of demographic data, and, on the other, there is a heavy reliance on virtual communications. Conventional ethnography, based on face-to-face interaction with informants selected at g…

Applied Anthropology/antropologia de la gestion: Debating the Uses of Anthropology in the United States and Latin America: From Policy Ethnography to Theory of Practice: Introductory Considerations
In this set of articles, three anthropologists based in Latin America discuss the politics and practicalities of doing applied anthropology in Mexico and Puerto Rico a discussion based in their own working lives as researchers while two anthropologists based in the United States (Sidney Mintz and myself) provide some commentary. Our goal is to contribute to the "decolonizing of anthropology" (Harrison 1997): by expanding current questions posed i…

Growing Old in el Barrio
The Social Construction and Reconstruction of the Other: Fieldwork in El Barrio
Anthropologists speak of ethnography as both product and process of fieldwork yet have tended to be overly concerned about product In this article I argue that by making process of fieldwork more participatory, we make product more policy oriented The case presented here suggests that visual methods can be valuable in process of validating anthropological interpretations with study populations and of submitting ethnographic renditions to general …
From Ethnography to Survey: Some Methodological Issues in Research on Health Seeking in East Harlem
This paper explores how and to what extent qualitative ethnographic methods of data collection in the social sciences may be integrated with survey methods to produce a research instrument. It presents an approach to assessing the cultural sensitivity of a survey instrument that was developed and tested in an ethnographic study of health seeking among elderly Hispanics in East Harlem, New York City, and considers some of the practical and theoret…

The study involved 5I Hispanic patients who were seen at the Internal Medicine Associates (IMA) clinic …
