Abstract
In a book by anthropologists, it is of course worth mentioning that much of what anthropologists do in their research is already quite participatory. Anthropologists generally live with and as part of the communities that they hope to better understand, and in this process of participant observation they ideally come to know the nuances of everyday life for individual members of a particular group. Indeed, it is not uncommon for anthropologists to share deep and sometimes lifelong bonds with participants in their research, nor is it uncommon for anthropologists to feel a strong sense of self-identification with the communities in which they have become embedded through their fieldwork.
