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. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #14 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and Revolutionaries
“Lay the two aspects of Russian rural life side by side: the peasant who has the restlessness of the nomad in his blood, and the police-state which enforces upon him the static obligations of the serf status: the urge to be up and moving on the one hand, and the passport and the pursuing authority on the other: and you have the key to some of the contradictions of Russian history.”
