Annotation

This collection of papers, presented at the 2011 American Anthropological Association meetings in Montreal, Canada, represent the beginning of the anthropological investigation of the way in which anthropologist have been portrayed in popular culture. Frank A. Salamone provides an overview of the field today, looking for depictions of anthropologists in various genres - film, fiction, TV, and everyday life. The contributors look at specific portrayals of anthropologists in popular media, including using popular fiction to teach anthropology. The work is lively, accessible, and profound.
