With the originality and energy that have marked his earlier works, Eric Wolf now explores the historical relationship of ideas, power, and culture. Responding to anthropology's long reliance on a concept of culture that takes little account of power, Wolf argues that power is crucial in shaping the circumstances of cultural production. Responding to social-science notions of ideology that incorporate power but disregard the ways ideas respond to cultural promptings, he demonstrates how power and ideas connect through the medium of culture. Wolf advances his argument by examining three very different societies, each remarkable for its flamboyant ideological expressions: the Kwakiutl Indians of the Northwest Pacific Coast, the Aztecs of pre-Hispanic Mexico, and National Socialist Germany. Tracing the history of each case, he shows how these societies faced tensions posed by ecological, social, political, or psychological crises, prompting ideological responses that drew on distinctive, historically rooted cultural understandings. In each case study, Wolf analyzes how the regnant ideology intertwines with power around the pivotal relationships that govern social labor. Anyone interested in the history of anthropology or in how the social sciences make comparisons will want to join Wolf in Envisioning Power.

" Peut-on sortir d'une vision eurocentrée de l'histoire du monde ? Dans cet ambitieux projet qui couvre l'histoire depuis 1400, l'anthropologue Eric R. Wolf nous invite à penser l'expansion coloniale puis l'essor du capitalisme à travers un enchevêtrement d'histoires locales et de processus interconnectés. De fait, les expéditions européennes lancées à partir du XVe siècle s'insèrent dans de vastes réseaux économiques et politiques déjà structurés entre le Proche-Orient, l'Asie et l'Afrique, mais aussi dans les Amériques et en Océanie. Ces contacts donneront forme aux pouvoirs, violences et résistances qui vont se déployer par la suite dans le monde colonial. Ruée vers l'or en Amérique du Sud, traite des fourrures en Amérique du Nord, esclavagisme en Afrique, quête de nouvelles richesses en Asie... Dans ce récit vivant, Wolf analyse les rapports de domination qui se jouent à l'échelle des populations locales aussi bien qu'au niveau mondial, dans un constant aller-retour entre le centre et la périphérie qui fait la force et l'originalité de son regard. Il analyse également les effets du capitalisme sur la formation des classes ouvrières et leurs migrations. Maintes fois traduite, fruit d'une vaste recherche documentaire, l'œuvre maîtresse de Wolf est enfin publiée en français. Par sa démarche de décolonisation des savoirs, cet ouvrage fondamental a révolutionné notre façon d'appréhender notre histoire globale commune."
