I still use Wolf/Hansen, despite the 1972 publication date, as my main
"text". All the basic themes are there, though we now have theoretical
stances which might incline us to restate or rephrase these (but then
when DON'T we do this??). I find their insights into basic trends in
Latin American culture, society, political economy and daily experience
still fresh and provocative. I supplement/complement with ethnographies
(e.g., Bastien's Mountain of the Condor (Waveland), Chagnon's Yanomamo
material, some of my own work in southern Peru, etc.) and additional
readings (e.g., Poole & Renique Time of Fear on Shining Path - provides a
good sense of the continual generation of guerrilla movements, yet also
the historical specificity of social action).
Good luck.
