A short review and study of recent debates in the historiography of Anthropology, between emphasis on sociology of knowledge (cultural materialism) or technoeconomic determinism; Mosse makes an excellent critique of the theoretical fallacies in the works in review, and brings into play the writings of Claude Levi Strauss as an excellent example of anthropological work which can assist in understanding mass movements and 'popular knowledge', owing to the emphasis on myth, symbols, and the intersection of the unconscious and social reality which Levi Strauss utilizes.
