 Among the journals published by the AAA, "American Anthropologist" is the only one that follows the "four-field" approach, publishing articles from the four main subfields of anthropology.Proponents of the four-field approach see "American Anthropologist"'s broad scope as important to maintaining disciplinary unity, while critics have expressed serious reservations about this aim, and criticize pressures since the 1970s against editors and works that do not subscribe to four-field holism as an ideal for anthropological scholarship.In 2010, then editor-in-chief Tom Boellstorff proposed that "American Anthropologist" be viewed as an “interdisciplinary” journal, arguing that the goal should be "to present the best work in 'anthropology'—as defined in the broadest possible sense.
