Abstract
In these turn-of the-century times, with increasing concerns in academia about community service, and with anthropology continuing to reinvent itself, it is not surprising that what Sol Tax once called ‘action anthropology’ is breaking new ground. These days, at least in the California State University system, it is being encouraged under the rubric, ‘community based learning.’ Frequently, it is called ‘service-learning’ or ‘community service learning.’ While Tax's students of applied anthropology worked directly with Native American people, with the intention of listening to their ‘emic’ point of view, with a view to empowering, and as an input to policy, the 1990s San Diego incarnation involves working with a diverse urban community close to home.
