deja vu all over again the hearts and minds campaign in vietnam used anthropologists extensively. One result - a schism in the American Anthropological Association and the formation of the Society for Concerned Asian Scholars. The very first professional convention I went to as an anthropologist was in San Francisco when this split occurred.
Ruth Benedict was an even earlier example - hired to provide insight into Japanese culture in WWII. I was on the side that thought the government was offering an unethical activity for the anthropology profession. dave west On Fri, 05 Oct 2007 06:40:10 -0700, "Glen E. P.
