"A provocative account of the profound influence that the American security state
has had on the field of anthropology since the Second World War. Using a wealth of
information unearthed in CIA, FBI, and military records, [David Price] maps out the
intricate connections between academia and the intelligence community and the strategic
use of anthropological research to further the goals of the American military complex.
The rise of area studies programs, funded both openly and covertly by government agencies,
encouraged anthropologists to produce work that had intellectual value within the
field while also shaping global counterinsurgency and development programs that furthered
America's Cold War objectives. Ultimately, the moral issues raised by these activities
prompted the American Anthropological Association to establish its first ethics code.
Price concludes by comparing Cold War-era anthropology to the anthropological expertise
deployed by the military in the post-9/11 era."--Cover
