Abstract
Antonio Goubaud Carrera, known as Guatemala’s “first anthropologist,” and the anthropologist honored in this collection of essays, Judith-Maria Buechler, are both remarkable for bringing the cosmopolitan sensibility of our discipline, anthropology, and the specificities of our practice, ethnography, to bear on critical moments of world transition at the moment of the transition’s unfolding. The career of Goubaud is that of a public anthropologist who developed public policy, public and academic anthropology, and Guatemalan-produced ethnography.
