After intensive research of the Navaho Indians of the Southwest as a case study of people "caught between two worlds," two University anthropologists have concluded that economic aid to underdeveloped areas can easily upset the lives of the people being helped.
The two researchers, Clyde K. M. Kluckhohn, professor of Anthropology, and Evon Z. Vogt, assistant professor of Social Anthropology, reported their findings in "Navaho Means People," just published by the University Press.
"The Navaho case," Kluckhohn and Vogt believe, "is not unlike many of the problems in Southeast Asia or Africa." The most important thing to be learned from it "is that technical assistance and economic help are not enough." What is needed, they say, is an approach "which sees the problems in their full social and cultural complexity."
