“…Because the Japanese American researchers were mostly Nisei (second generation), they were able to draw upon their knowledge of Japanese culture to interpret the feelings of evacuees, while their fluency in English and their familiarity with white academic culture did enable them to transmit those interpretations effectively. As Suzuki (, , 1986) and others have demonstrated, however, the power dynamic was fraught and weighed heavily upon them as well (cf. Ichioka ; Hirabayshi 1999; & Yu, ).…”

“…Such rifts only exacerbated the difficulties that participant observers—as such data collectors were called—faced as part of their work. Indeed, scholars of Asian American history have documented the problems associated with this kind of work, including with respect to internment (see among others, Suzuki, , , ; Ichioka, ; Hirabayashi, ; Yu, ). Less familiar, however, are the subsequent career trajectories of some of these original Japanese American researchers, as well as the accounts of ways that their experience of internment continued to inform their work.…”

“…(Neiburg & Goldman 1998:57). É preciso notar que nem tudo é ou foram flores: houve uma nefasta participação de antropólogos norte-americanos na administração de campos de prisioneiros japoneses (Suzuki 1981). Finalmente, se faz necessário perceber que uma reação negativa -ou reflexiva -também foi protagonizada pela antropologia, especialmente em reação ao contexto da Guerra do Vietnam (Rapport & Overing 2000:19).…”

“…De l'avis général, la seconde guerre mondiale démontra que l'anthropologie pouvait être très efficace pour fournir des « renseignements » (a) sur l'ennemi lui-même, pour parvenir à le vaincre, (b) sur les alliés, pour découvrir comment coopérer avec eux, et (c) sur son propre pays, pour apprendre comment utiliser sa propre force (Goldman & Neiburg,. Les relations douteuses entre recherche anthropologique et intérêts de l'État furent illustrées encore plus concrètement lors de la participation de plusieurs anthropologues à l'administration de camps de concentration pour les populations japonaises et américaines pendant la seconde guerre mondiale (Suzuki, 1981). Il nous manque toujours aujourd'hui une histoire cohérente sur le rôle de l'anthropologie dans différents pays pendant ce conflit 2 .…”
