The Association Française des Anthropologues (AFA) was founded in May 1979 following a conference on « The Present State and Future of Anthropology » (April 1977), organized by S. Dreyfus-Gamelon and G. Condominas, at a time when the anthropological community was concerned with both its professionalization and its representation to the outside world. The Association set itself the goal of « promoting the development of anthropology and of relations between anthropologists, informing the general public about anthropology, representing French anthropology on international bodies and making anthropologists aware of their responsibilities.

The Association relies mainly upon membership fees. The FMSH (Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme) generously provides us with temporary office space and contributes to some of our running costs. The CNL (Centre National des Lettres) has lent its support since 1996. The IRD has provided us with financial assistance for several years. In respect of its publications, the AFA sometimes receives grants from organizations concerned with the themes dealt with in particular issues.
