The chapters take a point of departure in ideas and concepts developed by the pioneering anthropologist Eric R. Wolf in 'Europe and the People Without History', and emphasize the relevance and usefulness of applying Wolf to contemporary contexts. As such, the collection contributes to knowledge of dynamic relationships between local agency in the Global south, and broader political and economic processes that make 'people without history.' This shows global power as both excluding local groups at the same time as conditioning local struggles and the forms that social organization takes. Contributors are: Paul Stacey, Joshua Steckley, Nixon Boumba, Marylynn Steckley, Ismael García Colón, Inge-Merete Hougaard, Gustavo S. Azenha, Ioannis Kyriakakis, Raquel Rodrigues Machaqueiro, Tirza van Bruggen, and Masami Tsujita.  aEnglish 0aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 0aSocial conditions. 0aSocial movementsxDeveloping countries.1 aStacey, Paul,eeditor.08iPrint version:tGlobal Power and Local Struggles in Developing Countries : Contemporary Perspectives On: Europe and the People without History, by Eric R.
