Anthropologist, best Known for his Studies of Peasants, Latin America, and his Advocacy of Marxist Perspectives Within Anthropology
: An anthropologist, best known for his studies of peasants, Latin America, and his advocacy of Marxist perspectives within anthropology. As a social scientist, already fighting from a less than ideal position in the wider academy, Eric Wolf criticized what he called disciplinary imperialism within social sciences, and between social sciences on one hand, and the natural sciences on another, banishing certain topics, such as history, as not enough academic.
