Responding to anthropology's long reliance on a concept of culture that takes little account of power, Wolf argues that power is crucial in shaping the circumstances of cultural production. Responding to social-science notions of ideology that incorporate power but disregard the ways ideas respond to cultural promptings, he demonstrates how power and ideas connect through the medium of culture. Wolf advances his argument by examining three very different societies, each remarkable for its flamboyant ideological expressions: the Kwakiutl Indians of the Northwest Pacific Coast, the Aztecs of pre-Hispanic Mexico, and National Socialist Germany. Tracing the history of each case, he shows how these societies faced tensions posed by ecological, social, political, or psychological crises, prompting ideological responses that drew on distinctive, historically rooted cultural understandings. In each case study, Wolf analyzes how the regnant ideology intertwines with power around the pivotal relationships that govern social labor. Anyone interested in the history of anthropology or in how the social sciences make comparisons will want to join Wolf in Envisioning Power. 606 $aAztecs 606 $aIdeology 606 $aKwakiutl Indians 606 $aNational socialism 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 610 $aacademic. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aargument. 610 $aaztecs. 610 $acase study. 610 $acoastal. 610 $acrisis. 610 $acultural production. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aculture. 610 $adominance. 610 $aecology. 610 $agovernment. 610 $ahistorian. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aideology. 610 $alabor. 610 $amexico. 610 $anazi party. 610 $anorthwest. 610 $apacific coast. 610 $apacific northwest. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apower. 610 $apsychology. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $asocialism. 610 $asocialist germany. 610 $asocialist. 615 4$aAztecs. 615 4$aIdeology. 615 4$aKwakiutl Indians. 615 4$aNational socialism. 615 4$aPower (Social sciences). 676 $a303.3 700 $aWolf$b Eric R.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0143502 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827956003321 996 $aEnvisioning power$9512786 997 $aUNINA
