This collection of twenty-eight essays by renowned anthropologist
Eric R. Wolf is a legacy of some of his most original work, with
an insightful foreword by Aram Yengoyan. Of the essays, six have
never been published and two have not appeared in English until
now. Shortly before his death, Wolf prepared introductions to
each section and individual pieces, as well as an intellectual
autobiography that introduces the collection as a whole. Sydel
Silverman, who completed the editing of the book, says in her
preface, "He wanted this selection of his writings over the past
half-century to serve as part of the history of how anthropology
brought the study of complex societies and world systems into its
purview."
