An Anthropological Analysis of Rural Agrarian Societies and Power Dynamics

Published in Prentice-Hall's Foundations of Modern Anthropology Series, anthropologist Eric R. Wolf presents a comparative structural study of peasant societies across global cultures. Wolf distinguishes traditional peasant cultivators who produce for household subsistence and state tribute from primitive tribal farmers and industrial wage laborers.

The text analyzes land tenure systems, ceremonial exchanges, market relations, kinship networks, and peasant resistance against feudal and capitalist state power.
