This book examines the uses made of anthropology by Marx and
Engels, and the uses made of Marxism by anthropologists. Looking at
the writings of Marx and Engels on primitive societies, the book
evaluates their views in the light of present knowledge and draws
attention to inconsistencies in their analysis of pre-capitalist
societies. These inconsistencies can be traced to the influence of
contemporary anthropologists who regarded primitive societies as
classless. As Marxist theory was built around the idea of class,
without this concept the conventional Marxist analysis foundered.
First published in 1983.
