      The volume challenges dominant narratives of progress with a rich range of investigations of local struggles from the Global south which are based on original ethnographic research. 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.

      Paul Stacey, Ph.D., (2012), Roskilde University, is an Associate Professor in International Development Studies at Roskilde University. His Ph.D. investigated social exclusion in Ghana, and post-doctoral research focused on one of West Africa’s largest slums, resulting in State of Slum: Precarity and Informal Governance at the Margins in Accra (Zed books 2019). His ongoing research covers pastoralists’ struggles over land in Kenya; the illegal extraction of gold and democratization in Ghana; and political challenges to sustainable wastewater systems in urban Ghana.
