Offering insight and equal consideration into the societies of the
"civilized" and "uncivilized" world, "Europe and the People Without
History" deftly explores the historical trajectory of so-called
modern globalization. In this foundational text about the
development of the global political economy, Eric R. Wolf
challenges the long-held anthropological notion that non-European
cultures and peoples were isolated and static entities before the
advent of European colonialism and imperialism. Ironically referred
to as "the People Without History" by Wolf, these societies before
active colonization possessed perpetually changing, reactionary
cultures and were indeed just as intertwined into the processes of
the pre-Columbian global economic system as their European
counterparts. Utilizing Marxian concepts and a vivid consideration
for the importance of history, Wolf judiciously traces the effects
and conditions in Europe and the rest of the "known" world,
beginning in 1400 AD, that allowed capitalism to emerge as the
dominant ideology of the modern era.
