Anthropologies and Histories by William Roseberry
Explores some of the cultural and political implications of an anthropological political economy. In William Roseberry's view, too few of these implications have been explored by authors who dismiss the very possibility of a political economic understanding of culture.
Roseberry in among the most astute, careful, and theoretically cogent of the anthropologists of his generation. . . [This book] illustrates well the breadth and coherence of his thinking and guides the reader through the complicated intersections of anthropology with history, political economy, Marxism, and Latin American studies. -- Jane Schneider * CUNY In Anthropologies and Histories *
As a critic . . . Roseberry writes with sustained force and clarity. . . . his principal points emerge with a directness that will make this book attractive to a wide range of readers. * American Anthropologist *
An extremely stimulating volume . . . rich and provocative, and codifies a new depature point. * Choice *
Elegantly written essays. . . . Roseberry is the real gem, an anthropologist with extensive Latin American field experience and an impressive scholarly grasp of the histories of anthropology and Marxist theory. -- Micaela di Leonardo * The Nation *
