important collection

This is an excellent collection of some of Eric Wolf's most important work particularly for the reader interested in how power is created, negotiated and resisted. Furthermore, Wolf talks about this process in a clear but nevertheless provocative way. People who may not have access to libraries with back issues of journals will also benefit as the collection includes articles by Wolf that date to the 1950s and 1960s.
