    Abstract: Anthropologists have increasingly used the term public anthropology to refer to a model of research and practice dedicated to bringing anthropological knowledge into public discourse to affect tangible social change (Low 2011). The increased visibility of what is variously referred to as public, engaged, activist, action, or applied anthropology challenges anthropologists to circulate their insights more widely and effectively in the public sphere. The question, however, is not merely whether anthropologists should participate in the public sphere but also how anthropologists should intervene. In this article, I examine the interventions that anthropologists made in debates on the Ebola epidemic, state violence and civil discourse, and the need for cultural change in the face of climate change. Using these cases as a theoretical point of departure, I question what would happen if we imagined our work as a practice of freedom, an act of imagination, a tool for transforming an unequal world? What if we did the work of anthropology as though our lives and the lives of others depended on it? [ public anthropology, Ebola, Israel‐Palestine, Ferguson, climate change, year in review ] Antropólogos han usado crecientemente el término antropología pública para referirse a un modelo de investigación y práctica dedicados a traer el conocimiento antropológico al discurso público para afectar el cambio social tangible (Low, 2011). La visibilidad incrementada de lo que se refiere de varias maneras como público, comprometido, activista, acción o antropología aplicada reta a los antropólogos a circular su conocimiento más amplia y efectivamente dentro de la esfera pública. La pregunta, sin embargo, no es meramente sí los antropólogos deben participar en la esfera pública sino también cómo los antropólogos deben intervenir. En este artículo examino las intervenciones que antropólogos hicieron en debates sobre la epidemia del virus ébola, violencia de estado, y discurso civil, y la necesidad de cambio cultural ante el cambio climático. Usando estos casos como un punto de partida teórico pregunto, ¿qué sucedería si imaginamos nuestro trabajo como una práctica de libertad, un acto de imaginación, una herramienta para transformar un mundo desigual? ¿Qué tal si hiciéramos el trabajo de antropología como si nuestras vidas y las vidas de otros dependieran de él?

    Abstract: "To Defend this Sunrise examines how black women on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua engage in regional, national, and transnational modes of activism to remap the nation's racial order under conditions of increasing economic precarity and autocracy. The book considers how, since the 19th century, black women activists have resisted historical and contemporary patterns of racialized state violence, economic exclusion, territorial dispossession, and political repression. Specifically, it explores how the new Sandinista state under Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has utilized multicultural rhetoric as a mode of political, economic, and territorial dispossession. In the face of the Sandinista state's co-optation of multicultural discourse and growing authoritarianism, black communities have had to recalibrate their activist strategies and modes of critique to resist these new forms of "multicultural dispossession." This concept describes the ways that state actors and institutions drain multiculturalism of its radical, transformative potential by espousing the rhetoric of democratic recognition while simultaneously supporting illiberal practices and policies that undermine black political demands and weaken the legal frameworks that provide the basis for the claims of these activists against the state"--
