Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology by David Graeber

5.0

In an eye-opening Read, Graeber not only debunks some of the Fallacies surrounding Anarchism in general, but provides a glimpse of an Alternative. The last Chapter, lambasting the (then) current Crop of Anthropologists, is fantastic. In the same Chapter, he points out how the Field needs to refocus and stop churning out (racist?) Prejudices as Facts. I can see the Seeds of "Bullshit Jobs" in between. His Rage is enormous but he manages to channel it into Brilliance. He is very quietly becoming Kind of a Hero of mine. I don't have the Time or mental Fortitude, at least as of now, to critically evaluate what he has written, but I still find myself agreeing with him, not to mention the sheer Moral Courage it takes to be an Anarchist out in the Open and demanding Money from an Institution to produce Work that delegitimizing its very own basic Premise.
