David Price (Welsh Independent minister)

David Price (1809–78) was a Welsh Independent minister at Aberdare. He played a formative role in the development of this industrial community during the nineteenth century and, in addition to his religious activities, became a member of the Aberdare School Board and sought to play a conciliatory role during industrial disputes such as the Aberdare Strike of 1857–8.

Price began life as a working miner and recalled this period when addressing a public meeting called by Henry Austen Bruce during the 1857-8Aberdare Strike. He became a member of the Independent church at Glyn-neath in 1830, and began preaching there in 1836. Having moved to Aberdare, he became a member of Ebenezer, Trecynon, the earliest Independent chapel in the immediate vicinity of Aberdare. In 1843, he was one of fourteen members from Ebenezer who left to establish the new church at Siloa, Aberdare, and Price was directly involved, as a workman, in the constriction of the original building, and served as its treasurer for many years. Soon after he was ordained as its minister.

Price has conducted cultural anthropological and archaeological field work in Egypt and elsewhere in the Near East. His primary research area is the history of anthropology along with various interactions between anthropologists and military/intelligence agencies. His 2004 book Threatening Anthropology used tens of thousands of Federal Bureau of Investigation files released under the Freedom of Information Act to examine how the FBI harassed anthropologists that were activists in issues of racial equality during the McCarthy era. His 2008 book Anthropological Intelligence documented American anthropologists’ contributions to the Second World War. He has written journalistic exposés on military uses of anthropology in the Human Terrain System program, and on post-9/11 programs bringing the CIA and other intelligence agencies back on to American university campuses. Much of Price's historical and contemporary writing focuses on the ethical and political context of anthropological practice.
