Potentiality and Humanness: Revisiting the Anthropological Object
The American Anthropologist has accepted the idea that it should review important volumes of work that may not appear in usual published venues, e.g., gray literature or technical reports.
The Committee on Practicing, Applied and Public Interest Anthropology is interested in 1) volumes in medical anthropology that would be good to review, e.g., the WHO report on Social Determinants, and 2) potential reviewers. If you have suggestions for volumes, or are interested in serving as a reviewer, please contact Robert Hahn directly at rah1@cdc.gov
