The range of their war-related work was extraordinary. They helped gather military intelligence, pinpointed possible social weaknesses in enemy nations, and contributed to the Army's regional Pocket Guide booklets. They worked for dozens of government agencies, including the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Office of War Information. At a moment when social scientists are once again being asked to assist in military and intelligence work, David H. Price examines anthropologists' little-known contributions to the Second World War. Anthropological Intelligence is based on interviews with anthropologists as well as extensive archival research involving many Freedom of Information Act requests. Price looks at the role played by the two primary U.S. anthropological organizations, the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology (which was formed in 1941), in facilitating the application of anthropological methods to the problems of war. He chronicles specific projects undertaken on behalf of government agencies, including an analysis of the social effects of postwar migration, the design and implementation of OSS counterinsurgency campaigns, and the study of Japanese social structures to help tailor American propaganda efforts. Price discusses anthropologists' work in internment camps, their collection of intelligence in Central and South America for the FBI's Special Intelligence Service, and their help forming foreign language programs to assist soldiers and intelligence agents. Evaluating the ethical implications of anthropological contributions to World War II, Price suggests that by the time the Cold War began, the profession had set a dangerous precedent regarding what it would be willing to do on behalf of the U.S. government. -- Publisher's Description. 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Anthropology |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Anthropologists |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Military intelligence |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Science and state |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zUnited States. 651 0 United States |xHistory |y1933-1945. 776 08 |iOnline version:Price, David H., 1960- |tAnthropological intelligence: the deployment and neglect of American anthropology in the Second World War. |dDurham : Duke University Press, 2008 |w(OCoLC)747305531 856 40 |3Electronic version(s) available. |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=1169848 |zHosted by ProQuest 856 42 |3Table of contents only |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip083/2007043856.html 856 42 |uhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=016583337&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA |zTable of contents |3Electronic version(s) available. 852 0 |bstacks |hGN17.3.U6 |iP75 2008 852 |bebook
