Edward J. Hedican is a professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Guelph. He is the author of Ipperwash: The Tragic Failure of Canada's Aboriginal Policy and Applied Anthropology in Canada: Understanding Aboriginal Issues.
Public Anthropology is a world anthropology book that is relevant in Canada, the United States, or anywhere around the globe that anthropologists now work. It's also a great read. Hedican has created a text that is informative, timely, and readable-a hat trick of attributes not common in an academic book. - Charles Menzies, University of British Columbia
