The Human Ecology Fund, an anthropological funding front used by the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1950s and 1960s, is discussed to elucidate one of the ways that the National Security State sponsored and consumed anthropological knowledge Clyde Kluckhohn's secret interactions with the FBI, State Department, and CIA are discussed to exemplify how some scholars covertly interacted with intelligence agencies during the Cold War. Finally, documents from anthropologist Melville Jacobs’ troubles at the University of Washington for his Marxist political associations indicate ways in which radical anthropologists were persecuted. It is argued that despite the proclaimed end of the Cold War, many of the features of the National Security State are still in place, as are new interfaces between the military‐intelligence agencies and the academy.","PeriodicalId":47227,"journal":{"name":"Identities-Global Studies in Culture and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74313780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transmigrants and their society of origin have forged a dense web of transnational relations that unites them in a continuous transterritorial social formation. This formation is evident in the incessant back and forth traveling and multidirectional exchanges of material and intangible resources and symbols between the US and the DR. Transmigration has spread people's lives across national borders and generated a transnational habitus. Thus, even transmigrants who resettle in the DR maintain enduring transnational relationships. However, instead of being a social equalizer that empowers all migrants alike, transnational migration tends to reproduce and even exacerbate class, gender, and regional inequalities. Finally, internal and transnational migration seem to form a single system co...","PeriodicalId":47227,"journal":{"name":"Identities-Global Studies in Culture and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73118793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examination of the national museum, the revival of chiefdomship, and development programs reveals how the Solomons has sought to construct a national history based on the notion of an original primordial identity masked by subsequent linguistic and cultural differentiation.","PeriodicalId":47227,"journal":{"name":"Identities-Global Studies in Culture and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76800910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the ways in which culture as a discourse is used are outlined and some of the possible effects such a discourse may have are discussed. It is shown that the term culture is used in a self‐evident and self‐sufficient way as a commonplace. In addition, most of the inhabitants use a reified and essentialistic notion of culture for constructing “us” and “them” distinctions. Cultural differences are evaluated in favor of one's own group and used for arguing for the incompatibility of cultural groups. Three conceptualizations of culture can be distinguished. All three have the effect of “blaming the victim,” but each attributes a different degree of blame to immigrant groups: culture as heritage, culture as doctrine, and culture as mentality.
