The project culminated with a large-scale public history exhibition and an archival website. Pedagogically, the project successfully made visible local manifestations of structural racism, both to Centre students and the community. We argue that this project demonstrates a successful fusion of Participatory Action Research (PAR) with ethnographic methods from cultural anthropology. In carrying out this project within several college courses, we further show that tying principles of PAR to ethnographic methods reconciles some of the historical tensions that applied anthropology has had with the community-engaged learning model in higher education. We continue implementing PAR in this article by analyzing debrief interviews with both research participants and students, whose inferences and feedback demonstrate the current outcomes and inform the future shape of the project.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45176,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anthropological Practice","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/napa.70026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, informality persists not merely as a regulatory failure but as a negotiated economic space where both the state and entrepreneurs pursue strategic interests. This article examines Chinese informal entrepreneurship in Morocco's tourism sector, revealing how migrant entrepreneurs, Moroccan tourism professionals, and state authorities interact to sustain a transnational tourism market despite regulatory constraints. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observation and interviews with Chinese entrepreneurs and Moroccan stakeholders, this study critically engages Clifford Geertz's “prince-peddler” framework, extending it to a digital and transnational economy. It argues that Moroccan authorities practice selective enforcement, balancing economic pragmatism with regulatory ambiguity, while Chinese entrepreneurs leverage digital infrastructures to navigate informality strategically. This research contributes to the anthropology of entrepreneurship by illustrating how informal entrepreneurship is not merely a survival strategy but a deliberate business model shaped by digital platforms, transnational financial networks, and negotiated governance. Although this niche market of Chinese tourists in Morocco remains resilient, emerging regulatory pressures suggest that a shift toward formalization is already underway.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45176,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anthropological Practice","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the end of the first decade of the 2000s, official state discourses changed. New discourses celebrated independent economic actors as the key to sustainable development and future <i>Socialist</i> prosperity; self-employment was reenvisioned as vital to the nation's economic health. I argue that the apparent transformation in the state and Revolution's acceptance of Cuban entrepreneurs is actually incomplete. While some forms of independent economic activity and new economic actors are now celebrated and defended by the state, the mobility and dignified life promised by entrepreneurship are not open to all who undertake creative solutions to unmet social needs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45176,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anthropological Practice","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While outwardly conservative, S. Inez was resolutely modern in her commitment to bringing anthropological knowledge to bear on discussions of policy and practice outside the academy. In a sense, S. Inez had no choice but to focus on the application of anthropological knowledge to “social problems”: she never held an academic position in anthropology, but taught mainly in schools of nursing, where the onus was on her to demonstrate the relevance and value of her subjects—anthropology, sociology, and psychology—to the settings and people her future nurses were likely to encounter “in the field.” In this article, based on extensive archival research, I develop an account of S. Inez's groundbreaking efforts to apply anthropology in non-academic settings, beginning with her earliest publications for nurses. I chart the growth of her political conscience following World War II and report on her participation in state and federal-level discussions on “social problems” among American Indians, reconstructing her involvement in two significant conferences (in 1953 and 1964). I also consider evidence of her wider-ranging political advocacy for Native peoples, including her role as an expert consultant for a US Senate subcommittee (in 1961). A consideration of S. Inez's publications and activities over the long term reveals that she moved from methodological individualism to a greater preoccupation with structural factors underlying the symptoms of social dysfunction among Native peoples.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45176,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anthropological Practice","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we explore play “<i>in anthropology</i> and <i>as anthropology</i>” while drawing from our collective experiences with collaborative research through a Palermo-based participatory film and storytelling lab that foregrounds “il gioco” (play). We discuss the lab's approach to play as a collaborative method in the process of co-creation that helps with navigating social and linguistic differences, invites practices of improvisation, and aspires to disrupt uneven landscapes of power. We also consider how play can serve as a form of ethnography and mode of analysis. Engaging with theory on collaborative anthropology, creative and experimental ethnography, and decolonizing methodologies, we gesture to the possibilities for <i>critical collaborative play</i> as a feminist, antiracist methodological orientation. Particularly as the field of anthropology grapples with existential crises and strives toward decolonizing futures, play as method warrants further critical attention.</p>","PeriodicalId":45176,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anthropological Practice","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144091941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
