Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology by David Graeber

4.0

I enjoyed the excerpts pertaining to the oh so naughty anarchistic views of famous anthropological theorists, but I wish there was a greater focus on how anthropologists as gatherers of information (through ethnographic research) can help society reimagine its existence without the desire of a ruling party or "state". Anthropologists encounter many different societal organizations that flourish, so why not assert such possibilities through the raising of such findings? Not all societies are alike but perhaps some key principles could be adopted into "western" or more "modern" societies.
