A groundbreaking account of the origins and history of the idea of
fetishism. In recent decades, William Pietz's innovative history of
the idea of the fetish has become a cult classic. Gathered here,
for the first time, is his complete series of essays on fetishism,
supplemented by three texts on Marx, blood sacrifice, and the money
value of human life. Tracing the idea of the fetish from its
origins in the Portuguese colonization of West Africa to its place
in Enlightenment thought and beyond, Pietz reveals the violent
emergence of a foundational concept for modern theories of value,
belief, desire, and difference. This book cements Pietz's legacy of
engaging questions about material culture, object agency, merchant
capitalism, and spiritual power, and introduces a powerful theorist
to a new generation of thinkers.
