The present collection of articles is a welcome antidote to the stereotype of applied anthropologists of education as technicians rather than theoreticians, institutional enablers rather than social critics. These authors demonstrate that, despite institutional constraints and the problem-driven nature of their endeavors, applied anthropologists of education engage some of anthropology's most fundamental theoretical and methodological questions, and can foster an attitude of social critique even from within bureaucratic systems of social reproduction
