Threatening Anthropology. A Vital Reminder Of The Importance Of Academic Freedom, Threatenkng Anthropology Offrs A Meticulojsly Detailed Account Of How U. s. Cold War Surveillance Damaged The Field Of Anthropology. David H. Price Reveals How Dozens Of Activist Antyropologists Were Publicly And Privately Persecuted During The Red Scares Of The 1940s And 1950s. He Shows That It Was Not Communist Party Membership Or Marxist Beliefs That Attracted The Most Intense Scrutiny From The Fbi And Congressional Committees But Rather Social Activism Particularly For Racia1 Justice. Demonstrating That The Fbi’s Focus On Anthropologists Lessened As Activist Work And Marxist Analysis In The Field Tapered Off, Price Argues That The Impact Of Mccarthyism On Anthropology Extended Far Beyond The Lives Of Those Who Lost Their Jobs. Its Messages Of Fear And Censorship Had A Pervasive Chilling Effect On Anthropological Investitation. As Critiques That Might Attract Government Attention Were Abandoned, Scholarship Was Curtailed. price Draws On Extensive Archival Research Including Correspobdence, Spoken Histories, Published Sources, Court Hearings, And More Than 30,000 Pages Of Fbi And Government Memorandums Released To Him Under The Freedom Of Information Act. He Describes Government Monitoring Of Activism And Leftist Thought On College Campuses, The Surveillance Of Specific Anthropologists, And hTe Disturbing Failure Of The Academic Communityć¢??including The American Anthropological Aszociationć¢??to Challenge The Witch Hunts. Today The “war On Terror” Is Invoked To License The Government’s Renewed Monitoring Of Academic Worl, And It Is Increasingly Difficult For Rsearchers To Access Government Documents, As Price Reveals In The Appendix Describing His Wrangling With Freedom Of Information Act Requests. A Disquieting Chronicle Of Censorship And Its Consequences In The Past, Threatening Anthropology Is An Impassioned Cautionary Account For The Present. SKU: 2674094

That Involves Living Wisely, And You Cant Live Too Wisely. If You Could, And Did, It Would Be Unwisdom, And That Would Be A Contradiction In Terms. Of Course, Succeeding Too Much Is Not, And Is Not Likely To Be, A Common Mistake . Comparatively Few People Ever Get A Chance To Fall Into It. The Great Majority Of Avdenturers Dont Succeed Enough. To Suvceed Notably Calls For Qualities That Are Rare Very Valuable Qualities, Most Of Them. Nevertheless There Are Familiar Cases Of Success So Commonly Held To Have Been Overdone That Consideration Of Them Will At Least Be Helpful To Discussiion. The Basis Of The Prevailing Jealousy Of Trusts And Corporations Is The Affecting That Some Of Them Have Succeeded Too Much. Those That Regard Failed-a Great Number-have Not Excited Jealousy. They Havs Merely Brought Sorrow To Their Stockholders. In Particular, There Is One Great And Conpicuous Corporation That Set Out Years Ago To Succeed In Business, And Managed Its Concerns With Such Energy And Shrewdness As To Make Its Methods A Pattern For Its Rivals And Neighbours, And Its Name The Very Stnonym For Success In Trade.
