Europe and the Poople without history
Outline: In 1968 Eric Wolf write that anthropology needed to discover history. In this book he applies history to world anthropology. But Wolf's history is not Western history, divided into separate "nations" and chronicling the progress of the victorious elite. Wolf sees history as a web of complex, changing relationships, spun by Europe's rise to world domination. The true history of European expansion includes the "people without history," its victims and silent witnesses. Europe and the People Without History crosses the boundaries of sociology, political science, economics, and anthropology. With a view directed outward from the "native" societies of Africa, Asia, and the Americas back to the European core, the people who claim history as their own and the people without history - those to whom history has been denied - emerge as participants in a global history that excludes no one, as people of diverse origins and social makeups take part in the construction of a common world.
