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 #5 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Tradition
“As the economic resources of chiefs, mandarins, and landed nobles become subject to the movement of the market, their claims to social and political command are increasingly called into question. Many of their inherited titles end up on the auction block.”
