Anthropologists have relied heavily on notions that see cultural coherence as the working out of cultural-linguistic logics or aesthetics. As a result, they rarely have asked how power structures the contexts in which these promptings manifest themselves or how power is implicated in the reproduction of such patterns. I articulated this concern in an address to the American Anthropological Association in 1990, \"Facing Power.\" Yet if anthropologists have favored a view of culture without power, other social analysts have advanced a concept of \"ideology\" without culture, taking it as ideas advanced by elites or ruling classes in defense of their dominance, without attention to the specificities of cultural configurations.  \nThis book seeks a way out of this impasse. The project for it began with reading and discussion in a workshop on ideology that I conducted in 1984 with students in the Ph.D. Program in Anthropology at the City University of New York. It was then carried forward in graduate courses on the history of theory and on ideology, concluding with a seminar on \"Ethnography and Theory\" in 1992. I am grateful to the students who took part in these efforts and who made teaching at CUNY a memorable experience.
