HOW THE CIA AND PENTAGON HARNESSED ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND COLD WAR WITH LITTLE CRITICAL NOTICE

Price, David H.

Journal of Anthropological Research, 10/2011, Volume: 67, Issue: 3

Journal Article, Web Resource

This paper explores a broad range of ways in which anthropological research was linked to military and intelligence agencies during the Cold War, and it examines evidence and implications of the 1976 findings by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (chaired by Senator Frank Church) that during the 1950s and 1960s "massive" amounts of international research were covertly funded by the CIA. The reasons anthropologists did not more critically consider why or how their work aligned with the interests of the CIA and Pentagon are considered, and the implications of post—World War II disciplinary decisions to ignore political dimensions of research in favor of ethical considerations are discussed.
