"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
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 评分我只读了皮货贸易一章,感觉翻译上应该存在不少问题。目前只发现两个小地方:一是P187最后一行“……发运到伏尔加河大拐弯处的保加利亚”,伏尔加河不流经保加利亚,我觉得作者不会搞错,很可能是翻译错了;二是这一部分中经常提到海狸,此外还有河狸、水獭、海獭,我上网查了...
评分作者是人类学家,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“无论是那些宣称他们拥有自己历史的人,还是那些被认为没有历史的人民,都是同一个历史轨道中的当事人。” 这是汗青堂的系列丛书, 豆瓣评分8.9, 翻完之后, 我认为它完全无法吸引我。 以前我们说起历史, 能想起来的都是著名人物, 作者作为人类学家, 整本书力求告诉读者,...
开创性;必读。
评分开创性;必读。
评分great book! Love it.
评分#26 就这样肿着右眼读完了我的第一本anthropology-related的书。Geographic的描述和各种names of ethnicities的杂糅实在是太难啃了,也许配合Professor Wolf的课食用效果会更加。可惜没法上这门课,因为没那个本事(哭泣。
评分great book! Love it.
