This article examines the role of anthropologists in the wartime camps for Japanese Americans during World War II. It presents a documentary study based on primary sources, including official reports, personal correspondence, and unpublished manuscripts, to analyze the complex and often conflicting positions anthropologists occupied. The study explores how anthropological expertise was utilized by the War Relocation Authority (WRA), the agency responsible for the camps, and how individual anthropologists navigated the ethical dilemmas inherent in their work. It also considers the impact of this historical context on the development of the discipline of anthropology itself.
