“…By trying their fortune in the US, Australian women reflected and further cultivated a lopsided relationship between the two nations reminiscent of a metropole-colony dynamic. 76 From antipodean towns and cities located on the outer rim of the US's Pacific sphere of influence, these sojourners sought out economic and cultural capital concentrated in the metropole. In doing so, they wove professional and personal threads across the Pacific, akin to the 'networks' and 'webs' that formed the skeleton of the British Empire.…”

“…In so doing, development theorists rigidly and statically divided the world into center and periphery, domination and resistance, exploiters and the exploited, and so on. When observed historically, however, the relationship between center and periphery is much more flexible and mutable than these concepts will admit (Kramer 2011). …”

During World War II, the U.S. Indian Service conducted social science experiments regarding governance among Japanese Americans imprisoned at the Poston, Arizona, camp. Researchers used an array of techniques culled from anthropological culture and personality studies, psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and public opinion research to probe how the personality traits of the confined Japanese-Americans and camp leaders affected the social interactions within each group and between them. The research drew on prior studies of Indian personality in the US Southwest, Mexico's Native policies, and indirect colonial rule. Researchers asked how democracy functioned in contexts marked by hierarchy and difference. Their goal was to guide future policies toward US "minorities" and foreign races in post-war occupied territories. We show how researchers deployed ideas about race, cultural, and difference across a variety of cases to create a universal, predictive social science, which they combined with a prewar romanticism and cultural relativism. These researchers made ethnic, racial, and cultural difference compatible with predictive laws of science based on notions of fundamental human similarities.
