"Wolf's intention is to show that European expansion not only transformed the historical trajectory of non-European societies but also reconstituted their historical accounts of their societies before European intervention. . . . His historical sweep and analytic breadth are astounding, and he gives approximately equal weight to historical 'winners' and 'losers.'" --Michael S. Kimmel, American Journal of Sociology
"Wolf's intention is to explain the development and nature of the chains of cause and consequence which linked populations in the post-1400 world. The outcome is a tightly structured and elegant book." --Oceania
"The work of a powerful theoretical intelligence, but one informed by a lived sense of social realities." --Times Literary Supplement
"In this big and important book, Eric Wolf begins and ends with the assertion that anthropology must pay more attention to history. . . . It is with pleasure, then, that one reads a critical analysis that rejects pseudo-historical oppositions and explores with such care the historical processes by which primitive and peasant pasts have become a fundamentally altered primitive, peasant, and proletarian present." --William Roseberry, Dialectical Anthropology
"Wolf has created a history of connection rather than one of segregation. . . . This absorbing and stimulating book . . . provides a convincing and, dare I say, new perspective. . . . By emphasizing a common past, Wolf moves away from weary polarities of active 'white' centre and passive 'non-white' periphery and suggests both a more complex and a more informed sense of the relationship between Europe and the rest of the world."--Ben Jay, European Update
"Wolf's empirical knowledge is exceptionally wide. . . . He relies on a skillful selection of phenomena in time and space that are reasonably representative of the totality. . . . The book is very well written and with a profoundly human touch."--Magnus Mörner, Ethnos
作者是人类学家,全书从人类学的角度看16世纪以来欧洲人的全世界扩张与殖民活动,写了许多原住民社会,写了他们在欧洲人到来之前、之后的社会基本形态和期间发生的巨变。他们原本有多种多样的社会组织方式,也还在逐步演化中。比如说所谓的印第安人,在欧洲人到来之前,其实是...
评分速记: 1.导言很精彩的在一个小节里围绕人类学从研究“原始人类”起家的整个理论史做了回顾总结。 2.指出世界是一个整体、一个系统是一件事情,而要证明这个观点则是另一个问题。 3.作者选用了马克思的概念和理论。最重要的就是“生产”。既包括实用工具性的一面,也包括意识观...

评分《欧洲与没有历史的人民》是人类学和历史学交汇的结晶,这种结合和视角使它明显地区别于目前广为国内学界所熟知的数种世界史著作,展示了诸多族群的历史,凸显了作为历史主体的人能动作用,而又尤其着力发掘弱者和他者的历史,它 以欧洲的扩张为主线,采用叙述的方...
评分Wolf在导论中表明其核心坚持是对“过程”的强调。基于此,“民族”“文化”“×人”这些曾经出于某种独断论而长期被当作自明主体的概念,现在必须作为生成的历史过程来对待。这些语词的能指和所指都处在极其广大的历史之流当中,虽然是按完全不同的脉络。而且,它们的发展和演...
对人类学功能主义传统的突破,只是关于中国的论述没有几句话是正确的
评分Talal Asad大大有个长书评,为了assign大大,只能把原书也给assign了。
