Review

Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban has for several decades been in the promotion of anthropological ethics, on which she has published widely. Her latest book on this theme, Ethics and Anthropology, in which she argues that ethics IS anthropology, does not disappoint. She has the capacity to make clear the most complex ideas and all practicing anthropologists, whether teachers, students or others, will find this book invaluable, both theoretically and practically. -- Pat Caplan, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, Goldsmiths College, University of LondonEthics and Anthropology is a must-read for all students of anthropology, whether they are learning about the discipline for the first time or working as seasoned practitioners. As Fluehr-Lobban points out, ethical considerations are no longer background, taken-for-granted aspects of anthropological work; ethics are now at the core of anthropological practice across multiple fields and domains. Doing anthropology today thus requires a deep understanding of how anthropology and ethics work in concert in both theory and practice. Drawing from a four-field approach and providing practical examples throughout, Fluehr-Lobban offers a roadmap for engagement that is both accessible and inspiring. It's an invaluable work. -- Luke Eric Lassiter, Marshall UniversityEthics and Anthropology is the leading work on ethics in Anthropology while also informing other disciplines and endeavors that entail fieldwork and practice globally. The author has thoroughly and lucidly researched work and issues since the beginnings of anthropological fieldwork to current controversies. She cogently tackles debates, offering informed analysis while not pulling punches. Her own impressive fieldwork and practice grounds analysis. Students, professionals, and informed commentators will learn much from this book. -- James L. Peacock III, author, The Anthropological Lens; University of North Carolina; former president, American Anthropological Association; and chair, Committee formulating the 1998 AAA code of ethicsCarolyn Fluehr-Lobban has been in the forefront of anthropological ethics for a long time, and she summarizes what she has written and learned along the way in her new book. As she states in her introduction, there are several 'guiding principles' of any practicable standards of ethics in anthropology. . . . After surveying ethical practices and statements from other disciplines like psychology, sociology, and political science, much of the book consists of deeper explorations of some of these core principles. ... It is important, indeed essential, to have these kinds of discussions about ethics and methods. * Anthropology Review Database *
