  • Naturalistic Observation

    Michael V AngrosinoBOOKNaturalistic Observation2016

    Observation is one of the foundational methods of qualitative inquiry—but only if it is conducted in a systematic fashion that allows for the careful recording of data and the consistent retrieval of those data for purposes of analysis. To that end, this book features a brief how-to guide to conducting observations in naturalistic settings. The history of observational research, ongoing questions of its epistemological status, the impact of new t…

  • The Shrine

    Open AccessMichael V Angrosino, Michael AngrosinoARTICLEAnthropology & Humanism2009

    Mrs. Talsingh stooped down to sweep her patio with a bundle of dried leaves, taking great pleasure in both the swooshing, scraping sound and the slight ache in her lower back. After all, this was how Indian housewives had swept up since Indian women had first been allowed to join their men in the estate barracks in the old days of the Indenture in Trinidad—and, she was sure, this was how it was in India itself for all the glorious centuries of it…

  • A Meditation on Cazabon's East Indian Group

    Open AccessMichael V AngrosinoARTICLEAnthropology & Humanism2004

    Using concepts derived from the field of postcolonial studies, as well as insights gleaned from three decades of ethnographic fieldwork among the East Indians of Trinidad, the author, an anthropologist, analyzes East Indian Group, a watercolor by the 19 th ‐century Trinidadian artist Michel Jean Cazabon. The painting is seen as a textual example of a reflexive and resistant representation of the colonial Other

    L'Arche is a worldwide network of more than 100 communities designed as places of refuge for people with developmental disabilities. More than just another group home for those with mental challenges, L'Arche sees itself as a counter cultural witness in the midst of secular, materialistic modern society. Grounded in Christian principles but explicitly multicultural and interfaith in operation, L'Arche attempts to demonstrate the possibility of li…

  • Catholic Social Policy and U.S. Health Care Reform: A Relationship Revisited

    Open AccessMichael V AngrosinoARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2001Cited by: 3References: 3

    The Roman Catholic Church is the single largest denomination in the United States and the one with the most extensive provider stake in health (and related social service) care. As a follow‐up to an earlier analysis of the Catholic role in the thwarted health care reform effort of1993–94, this article looks at the revival of interest in reform and at the rationale behind and strategy of the Catholic Church's current agenda‐setting initiative. The…

  • Health Policy and Applied Anthropology in the Catholic Church

    Michael V AngrosinoARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1996

    Decisions about health care often reflect moral choices, and they are often couched today in the discourse of social justice that has diffused from the religious to the secular sphere of American society. Although thinking about health care technology and service delivery in terms of moral values is hardly novel, it is still relatively uncommon for an applied anthropologist to seek to understand and advocate for health care reform from within an …

  • The Catholic Church and U.S. Health Care Reform

    Open AccessMichael V AngrosinoARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly1996Cited by: 2

    The Catholic Church is the largest (and arguably the best organized) single denomination in the United States, and it has extensive holdings in the health care field. It therefore has a material stake in the current debate over health care reform, as well as a moral interest in a question touching on the ethics of resource distribution. The position of the church on health care is analyzed as a case study of how organized religion interacts with …

    Michael V AngrosinoARTICLEJournal of Narrative and Life…1995

    Indentured laborers from India were brought to the West Indies beginning in the 1840s. They form upwards of 40% of the population of several West Indian territories, including Trinidad (part of the nation of Trinidad and Tobago). Despite considerable assimilation to West Indian norms, these peo-ple of Indian descent feel strongly about retaining a separate and distinctive cultural identity. There is no overall consensus, however, as to what these…

  • The Culture Concept and the Mission of the Roman Catholic Church

    Open AccessMichael V AngrosinoARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1994Cited by: 17References: 3

    This essay examines how the Roman Catholic Church uses a version of the concept of culture in its evangelizing mission. The field of Christian evangelization is not commonly studied by anthropologists, but it represents a situation parallel to that of international and political development, which has similarly been informed by the anthropological concept of culture but translates that concept into action in ways that are not always consonant wit…
