Dear SUNTA members: 

Based on your research interests, I write to you with an inquiry about whether the American Anthropological Association (AAA) could further your teaching needs by bringing any of our old titles back into availability.

Over AAA's century-long history, we have published hundreds of books. A recent review of these texts has prompted us to consider whether the scholarly community might benefit from easier access to these works.

However, since publishing is a very costly endeavor, we want to make sure that the texts would be considered useful to our members. We are therefore soliciting your input on the scholarly value and demand for AAA's past publications in this area.

Below, you will find a list of books that have been flagged as relevant to the interests served by this section. Please review the list and email me with any comments about books that you would find useful either for yourself or for your students (in which case, please include class title and enrollment numbers). I hope to receive all responses by April 15th. Feel free to indicate if there are other AAA publications that you would like to see made available.

We are also considering the compilation of a "reader" related to the ethics, practice, and instruction of Anthropology; if this interests you, please indicate the flagged reports and articles from AAA publications that you believe should be included.

Finally, if you know other individuals (or listservs) that might have thoughts on this project, please feel free to forward this message.

I welcome any questions or comments, and thank you in advance for your time, and your thoughtful replies. AAA is committed to making available works that are meaningful to our members and others, and this is why we are soliciting your help in this endeavor.
