[PEN-L:3945] Eric Wolf

Tom Kruse:
>Another must read for ANY student of capitalism, history, anthropology
>(etc.) is Eric Wolf's _Europe and the People Without History.

This reminds me to mention Wolf has a brand-new book out. Titled
"Envisioning Power", it is a comparative study of Kwakiutl, Aztec and Nazi
society from the standpoint of how ruling classes (or groups) rule. The
Aztec chapter focuses on the role of human sacrifice, a subject that has
come up repeatedly on PEN-L.
