Types of Latin American Peasantry
Reprinted from American Anthropologist, 57 (1955): 452–70. Eric R. Wolf is Professor of Anthropology at the City University of New York, Lehman College. He has a longstanding interest in the study of peasantry, with special reference to Latin America and Mediterranean Europe. He is the author of Sons of the Shaking Earth, Anthropology, Peasants, and Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century
Kinship, Friendship, and Patron-Client Relations in Complex Societies
The anthropologist has a professional license to study such interstitial, supplementary, and parallel structures in complex society and to expose their relation to the major strategic, overarching institutions. This chapter focuses on three sets of such parallel structures in complex societies: kinship, friendship, and patron-client relations. Membership in a kinship coalition would be advantageous in situations where the state delegated the taxi…

Anthropology among the powers
American Anthropologists and American Society
This chapter generates an interest in the sociology of anthropological knowledge and reveals the three different phases of American anthropology that correspond to three different phases of the development of American society. It stimulates thinking about problem setting in the discipline not merely in terms of the truth and falsity of answers, but in terms of whole intellectual enterprise as a form of social action, operating within and against …
Pathways of Power
Hidden Frontier
This award-winning classic in the study of ethnicity, identity, and nation-building has a new introduction (on which Eric Wolf collaborated near the end of his life) that shows the continuing validity of the book’s innovative approach to ethnography, ecology, culture, and politics. The authors investigated two Alpine villages—the German-speaking community of St. Felix and Romance-speaking Tret—only a mile apart in the same mountain valley
Anthropology among the powers
Vouloir estimer la relation que l'anthropologie entretient avec les differents pouvoirs qui lui sont exterieurs implique non seulement une histoire des idees de l'anthropologie elle-meme mais aussi une evaluation des differents espaces de changement politico-economiques a l'interieur desquels s'est developpee la discipline. Ce champ de connaissance s'est vu initier par le developpement du capitalisme et par la formation des Etats-Nations avec seu…
Envisioning Power
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…
"Cognizing "Cognized Models
In his later work Rappaport acknowledged that his earlier efforts had overemphasized organic and ecological functions in the explanation of cultural phenomena. He then distanced himself from both idealism and reductive materialism and set out to understand the complexities of cultural understandings and ritual. Specifically, he shifted from functionalism to formalism in an effort to understand ritual and its language in relation to cultural norms…

An Analysis of Ritual Co-Parenthood (Compadrazgo)
This article analyzes the institution of ritual co-parenthood (compadrazgo) as a mechanism for structuring interpersonal relationships in Latin American communities. Mintz and Wolf argue that compadrazgo, beyond its religious connotations, serves crucial social functions. It extends kinship ties beyond the immediate family, creating a network of reciprocal obligations and support. The authors explore variations in compadrazgo practices across dif…

Perilous Ideas
Culture
Cultures are not integral wholes carried by social isolates. We must distinguish between reality culture and ideology-making, and recognize that the creation or dismantling of cultures always goes on within extensive social fields, structured by the dominant modes of production. It is suggested that ideology-making derives from the prevalent mode of production and is entailed in its operations
What Makes Peasants Revolutionary
Caudillo Politics
The Latin-American Wars of Independence realized the long-standing hope of the criollo gentry to rid themselves of Spanish limitations on their economic and political activities. From the beginning of the New World colonies, the Spanish rulers had labored diligently to check the aspirations of the colonial gentry by limiting their access to both land and status. Grants of encomienda had yielded up to the colonists use rights to Indian labor and p…

Peasantries in Anthropology and History [and Comments and Replies]
This paper describes three sequential stages of West European peasantry (feudal, early modern, late modern) in order to establish a basis for comparison with the peasantries currently studied by anthropologists in Third World countries (almost all of which are in the early stage of economic development and cultural modernization). The village-community peasantries of the Third World may be regarded either as varying mixtures of tribal and some st…

Cultural Dissonance in the Italian Alps
Through the Eastern Alps runs one of the great cultural frontiers of Europe, the zone of contact between the cultural sphere of the Mediterranean and the transalpine cultures to the north. This frontier has shifted back and forth over time, as have the boundaries of language and of various dominant political units. One of the present foci of culture contact in a zone of dispute and discord is the present-day Italian region of Alto Adige or Tirole…
A Small Irrigation System in the Valley of Teotihuacan
Examination of aerial photographs of the Teotihuacan region for indications of abandoned irrigation canals revealed the traces of a small system just to the northwest of the modern road connecting the town of Atlatongo with the ceremonial center of Teotihuacan. The system lies along a stream flowing southeastwards in the tributary valley formed by Cerros Maravillas to the west, Tenextlacotla to the north, and Malinalco to the east (Fig. 123). The…
