A hubristic windmill off Harvard Yard
This essay reviews Patrick L. Schmidt's book chronicling the rise and fall of Harvard's Department of Social Relations (Harvard's Quixotic Pursuit of a New Science) and contrasts Schmidt's history with work of other scholars focusing on the impacts of the Cold War on Harvard's social sciences during this period. While Schmidt provides important new historical details about the Department of Social Relations, with significant new information on so…
How Others See Us
Drawing on Laura Nader’s concept of the vertical slice, this article reviews the hundreds of instances where the work of anthropologists, or anthropologists themselves appear in the leaked US State Department documents known as the “Manning Cables” published by WikiLeaks. The analysis of these documents shows anthropologists engaging with the US government in various ways, including in advisory capacities or bringing cultural or political knowled…
Project Man in Space
During the 1950s, partially in response to the Soviet Union’s launching of Sputnik, social psychologist Donald Michael launched Project Man in Space, a group of American social scientists organized to study and shape American attitudes toward space exploration. Margaret Mead and other anthropologists’ involvement in the Man in Space program is detailed here, and although the program is shown to have done valuable work measuring public understandi…

Counter-lineages within the history of anthropology
Anthropologists frequently conceive of their disciplinary history in terms of intellectual lineages linked to 'schools' of anthropological theory. This article considers the importance of what might be called 'counter-lineages' - intellectual lineages which have tended to be eclipsed from our intellectual history due to interference by the secret state. One such significant counter-lineage is found in the lives and works of American anti-fascist …
Questioning our agency inside agencies
During the months and years following the 11 September 2001 terror attacks in the US, it became axiomatic for American policy makers to speak of a need to more directly connect military and intelligence agencies with academic experts at American universities. Anthropology and other social science disciplines drew renewed attention as politicians, pundits and policy makers claimed regional and disciplinary expertise was lacking in the governmental…

Gregory Bateson and the OSS
This article uses documents released from the Central Intelligence Agency under the Freedom of Information Act to examine Gregory Bateson's work for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. The primary document under consideration is a position paper written by Bateson for the OSS in November 1944. In that paper, Bateson outlined a number of methods and strategies that U.S. intelligence agencies might wish to consider using in the po…

Women Vietnam Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Female Vietnam War veterans are an oppressed community, linked by their common experience in a tragic, unpopular war; by their subjugation in an overwhelmingly male military subculture dominated by a patriarchal society; and by their common struggle to deal with the emotional and psychological costs of their service. This article examines the problems experienced by women veterans of the Vietnam War who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder, …

Nambiquara leadership
A study of Nambiquara leadership carried out to overcome preconceptions left by earlier ethnography shows an egalitarian system grounded in a social structure that emphasizes the ties between siblings. There is a slight tendency for authoritarian leaders to emerge in situations of constant danger. Extra wives are not so much a reward for leadership as an added responsibility. Men do not lead in return for compensation, but to ensure the well‐bein…
