Anarchism and Anthropology: New Book!
Spanish readers will welcome the appearance of a new work on anarchism and anthropology: Anarquismo y antropología: Relaciones e influencias mutuas entre la antropología social y el pensamiento libertario, edited by Beltrán Roca Martínez (Madrid: La Malatesta Editorial, 2008).
The publishers describe the book as follows: “From Peter Kropotkin to Pierre Clastres, passing through Marcel Mauss or Radcliffe-Brown, an enigmatic link has connected anarchism and anthropology. Today, a species of “anarchist anthropology” is emerging within efforts to defend non-hegemonic anthropologies. This book assembles contributions from diverse anthropologists touching on disparate topics in which libertarian thought has had an influence. Authors include Brian Morris, Abel Al Jende, Harold Barclay, Félix Talego, David Graeber, Gavin Grindon, Jesús Sepúlveda, Karen Goaman, and John Zerzan. Each one, from distinct angles and analyzing different objects of study, underscores the value of a dialogue between a current of thought and a social movement, on the one hand, and a scientific discipline on the other.
