This chapter focuses on the life and accomplishments of Africanist anthropologist William Shack. Known to all as Shack, he had a career that included field research in Ethiopia and Swaziland, teaching in African universities as well as at the University of Illinois and the University of California, Berkeley. This chapter can offer hope and encouragement to graduate students of anthropology who may be in departments that are not as supportive or encouraging as they might wish, because William Shack faced major obstacles in completing his Ph.D. Despite the obstacles he faced, Shack went on to a distinguished career as an anthropologist and university administrator.
