应用人类学协会授予我1985年马林诺夫斯基奖，这是我莫大的荣誉。我很惭愧地发现自己与以前的获奖者联系在一起，他们做了很多工作来证明人类学不仅仅是一门学术学科或文学上的自负。除了两个以前的获奖者之外，我对所有的人都有所了解，至少是略知一二，这在某种程度上表明了人类学家的关系是多么紧密。有一些人在我的职业生涯中起了重要作用，也必然影响到后来与我共事的学生的职业生涯。我与爱德华·斯派塞（1976年）和亚历山大·莱顿（1984年）分享了波斯顿的经历，波斯顿是第11次世界大战期间日裔美国人及其父母被关押的集中营之一，这是我开始关注强制安置的不体面之处的开始，无论这是为了所谓的发展，还是因为战争更不体面。这一关切促使我参与了对Gwembe汤加人的一项重大研究，他们占据了后来成为卡里巴湖盆地的地方，并为建造一座水力发电厂以增强中部非洲的工业化能力而牺牲。我的同事塞耶·斯卡德（Thayer Scudder）在这项研究的基础上，进一步建立了一个关于对根除的反应和重新调整阶段的一般理论（Scudder and Colson，1982）。他的工作作为一个顾问建议的问题与重新安置带来了他承认在1984年会议上的美国人类学协会时，他成为第一个收件人的梭伦金博尔奖的公共和应用人类学。波斯顿经验的另一个副产品可能是最近成立的移民和重新安置研究中心，这是伯克利一群研究生的工作，他们关注老挝，越南和中部地区正在发生的事情
THE SOCIETY FOR APPLIED ANTHRO~O=OGY does me great honor in its gift of the Malinowski Award for 1985. It is humbling to find myself associated with the previous recipients of the award who have done so much to demonstrate that anthropology is more than an academic discipline or a literary conceit. It is some indication of how close-knit the company of anthropologists has been that I have known, at least slightly, all save two of the previous recipients. A number played a major role in shaping my own career and so perforce that of students who later worked with me. With Edward Spicer (1 976) and Alexander Leighton (1 984) I shared the experience of Poston, one of the camps where Japanese-Americans and their parents were interned during World War 11, the beginning of my concern for the indecency of forced resettlement, whether this be for what is known as development or because of the even greater indecency of war. That concern led to my involvement in a major study of the Gwembe Tonga who occupied what was to become the Lake Kariba Basin and were sacrificed so that a hydro-electric plant could be built to empower industrialization within Central Africa. From that study my colleague, Thayer Scudder, has gone on to create a general theory dealing with reactions to uprooting and stages of readjustment (Scudder and Colson 1982). His work as a consultant advising on the problems associated with resettlement brought him recognition at the 1984 meetings of the American Anthropological Association when he became the first recipient of its Solon Kimball Prize for Public and Applied Anthropology. A further spin-off of that Poston experience may be the recent founding ofa Center for the Study of Migration and Resettlement, the work of a group of graduate students at Berkeley who are concerned with what is happening to Laotian, Vietnamese, and Central
