It is longer than I anticipated and at points almost pedantic. However, from some private queries, there is tremendous variation in what people are familiar with, so I tried to err on the side of too basic. Finally, advance apologies to any I omitted. Charge it to Saturday am after a looong week, an not as an editorial statement. Others should feel free to add items (my basic bib runs into 100s of items), especially new and forthcoming. Andre Gunder Frank has already posted much of his work along with updates. I assume he will continue, so I've not put a lot of it here. I.

Best overview of Modern W-S research, winner of 1992 PEWS prize. Shannon, Thomas R. 1989. An Introduction to the World-System Perspective. Boulder, CO: Westview Press. This is probably best intro to WST, great for undergrads II. Precapitalist World-Systems A. Early writing Pailes, Richard A. and Joseph W. Whitecotton. 1975. "Greater Southwest and Mesoamerican World-Systems." Paper presented at the Southwestern Anthropological Association meeting, Santa Fe, NM, March, published as _____. 1979. "The Greater Southwest and the Mesoamerican "World" System: An Exploratory Model of Frontier Relationships," pp. 105-121 in William W. Savage, Jr., and Stephen I. Thompson, eds., The Frontier: Comparative Studies, Vol. 2. This is FIRST application of WST to precapitalist settings, as far as I know, it was followed quickly by: Kohl, Philip L. 1978. "The Balance of Trade in Southwestern Asia in the Mid-Third Millennium B.C." Current Anthropology 19:3(Sept.):463-492. _____. 1987. "The Use and abuse of World Systems Theory: The Case of the Pristine West Asian State." Advances in Archaeological Method and Theory 11:1-35. The first has considerable evidence, the latter presents one of the early, best thought out critiques. Blanton, Richard and Gary Feinman. 1984. "The Mesoamerican World System." American Anthropologist 86:3(Sept.):673-682. This too, is a classic attempt. Abu-Lughod, Janet. 1987. "The Shape of the World-System in the Thirteenth Century."

"Restructuring the Premodern World-System." Review 13:2(Spring):273-286. Janet Abu-Lughod was one of the first to start pushing the world- system back in time. Her book also received the PEWS prize. The 13:2 issue of Review has several articles on early world-system, including one by Wallerstein. NOTE: Review is often catalogued by libraries by its full title: Fernand Braudel Center Review, so it is often under "F" rather than "R"! B. More Recent discussions: Chase-Dunn, Christopher and Thomas D. Hall, eds. 1991. Core/Periphery Relations in Precapitalist Worlds. Boulder, CO: Westview Press. Humboldt Journal of Social Relations, 18:1 is devoted to World- System Analysis. Review, 15:3(summer) edited by Chris C-D is entirely precapitalist world-systems. His intro is probably THE BEST entry point to these debates. The tables of contents (TOCs) of all three have been posted on wsn, and if they are not archived in FTP area we can do it. HJSR is available for $8, review for $10 from: Review Fernand Braudel Center SUNY-Binghamton PO Box 6000 Binghamton, NY 13902-6000 checks to "Research Foundation of SUNY" Given general price of books these two are bargains. Core/Periphery Relations contains both early splitter (Chris & I) and lumper statements (Gills and Frank, Wilkinson) and several other illustration. The debate continues in the opening two articles in HJSR. Schortman, Edward M., and Patricia. A. Urban, eds. 1992. Resources, Power, and Interregional Interaction. New York: Plenum Press. The editors' intro and conclusions provide great intellectual histories on interregional interactions in archaeology, with especially good discussion of relation to diffusionism debates in anthro. Santley and Alexander tie WST to trade pattern analysis. The volume contains a number of good articles including "updates" from Whitecotton, Kohl, and Feinman. Spielman, Katherine A., ed. 1991. Farmers, Hunters, and Colonists: Interaction Between the Southwest and the Southern Plains. Tucson: University of Arizona Press. This is specialized to the US Southwest (one of my own regional foci). The editor's overview ties to ecological theory. Chapters by Wilcox and Baugh are especially good. C. Pieces in press Chase-Dunn, Christopher and Thomas D. Hall. 1993. "Comparing World-Systems: Concepts and Working Hypotheses." Social Forces, forthcoming June or Sept issue. This is our most definitive statement todate--assuming we don't change our minds in the meantime... Frank, Andre Gunder: has so much in press I cannot keep up-- Gunder writes faster than I can read! He has posted several items. I hope Gunder will post a world-systems in press bib of his and Barry Gills' work. Hall, Thomas D. and Christopher Chase-Dunn. 1993. "The World- Systems Perspective and Archaeology: Forward into the Past." Journal of Archaeological Research, forthcoming. This chapter reviews much of Review issue and is literature review of archaeological materials, and contains an overview of wst. This posting contains less than 10% of citations here. For those of you with access to PEWS NEWS (newsletter of Political Economy of the World-System section of American Sociological Association Newsletter, Al Bergesen wrote a critique of Pre-1500ers in the Summer 1992 issue (I'll see if we can post this, it is short). I've written a reply due out in Feb. I promised Phil McMichael the editor I would not post it until appears in print. Peter Peregrine is editing a collection of papers given at the Society for American Archaeology in Pittsburgh in Spring of 1992. We will post info on that as we know it. IV. American Indians, Barbarians, and Nonstate societies (or uncle tom [me] pushes his own cookie). My own entrypoint into precapitalist world-systems came from my world-system analysis of the American Southwest from before Spanish contact through the American conquest. In that work I focused on the consequences of incorporation into the world-system on nonstate peoples (American Indians/Native Americans). That has generalized to an interest in nonstate peoples ("barbarians" in the eyes of the "civilized") and the process of incorporation. Here some items, simply a way for me to find out who else is "into" barbarians! Barfield, Thomas J. 1989. The Perilous Frontier. London: Blackwell. Probably the best book on Central Asian nomads.
