摘要：While Cultural Anthropology’s move to open access has been positive in an abundance of ways, challenges remain. Foremost among these is finding alternative sources of funding in the current publishing environment, which is dominated by a small number of commercial presses that profit from leasing academic journals to university libraries. How, in Cultural Anthropology’s case, do we cover the approximately $50,000 that it costs to publish the journal each year? To address this pressing challenge, a group of Society for Cultural Anthropology (SCA) members has created a nonprofit to explore new avenues for fundraising. Called Friends of Cultural Anthropology (FoCA), this 501(c)(3) counts former editors, SCA officers, and other friends of the journal among its board of directors: George Marcus, Michael Fischer, Chris Kelty, Kim and Mike Fortun, Judy Farquhar, Bruce Grant, Danilyn Rutherford, Brad Weiss, Marisol de la Cadena, Bob Foster, and the three of us.
