The Idea of Power and the Power of Ideas: A Review Essay

In Envisioning Power , the late Eric Wolf, one of anthropology's most renowned practitioners, argues that the time has come to fuse power to ideas, not least of all in order to revitalize the concept of culture. His argument is explored in three notable case studies: the Kwakiutl, the Aztecs, and National Socialism in Germany. Our main criticism is that the concept of structural power favored by Wolf is redundant and expendable, partly because the case studies, while elegantly presented, are inappropriate for the author's theoretical interests, [power, culture, conflict]
