Popis:	The introduction of “non‐western” subject matter into the U.S. university curriculum, originating from military requirements during World War II, ranks as a major educational achievement but also as an ambiguous commentary on the relationship between state and academy. Whatever the balance sheet shows as between the value of widening intellectual horizons and the danger of threatened academic integrity, the impetus that drove non‐western studies slackened perceptibly from the 1970s onward, and the programs that had been so innovative began to stagnate. A seemingly modest research project and technique, pioneered by a Native American tribe and based on the “values orientations” work of Florence Kluckhohn, offers, because its guiding principles are so closely akin to the spirit of non‐western studies, a possible source of renewed academic momentum.
