Cold War Anthropology
The CIA, the Pentagon, and the Growth of Dual Use Anthropology
by David H. Price
- 4 Want to read
In a wide-ranging and in-depth study of the recent history of anthropology, David Price offers a provocative account of the ways anthropology has been influenced by U.S. imperial projects around the world, and by CIA funding in particular. DUAL USE ANTHROPOLOGY is the third in Price?s trilogy on the history of the discipline of anthropology and its tangled relationship with the American military complex. He argues that anthropologists? interactions with Cold War military and intelligence agencies shaped mid-century American anthropology and that governmental and private funding of anthropological research programs connected witting and unwitting anthropologists with research of interest to military and intelligence agencies.
