"Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century provides a good short course in the major popular revolutions of our century--in Russia, Mexico, China, Algeria, Cuba, and Viet Nam--not from the perspective of governments or parties or leaders, but from the perspective of the peasant peoples whose lives and ways of living were destroyed by the depredations of the imperial powers, including American imperial power."-New York Times Book Review Eric Wolf was Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at Herbert H. Lehman College and Graduate School, City University of New York, and the author of numerous books, including "Europe and the People Without History", "Peasants", and "Envisioning Power: Idologies of Dominance and Crisis."
