Everywhere anarchism is on the upswing as a political philosophy, except the academy. Anarchists repeatedly appeal to anthropologists for ideas about how society might be reorganized on a more egalitarian, less alienating basis. Anthropologists, terrified of being accused of romanticism, respond with silence . . . . But what if they didn’t? This pamphlet ponders what that response would be, and explores the implications of linking anthropology to anarchism. Here, David Graeber invites readers to imagine this discipline that currently only exists in the realm of possibility: anarchist anthropology.
Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology
For David, anthropology and anarchism were conceptually linked – both posited a horizontal and open-ended commitment to common projects; like anarchism, anthropology depends on an effort to understand what the other thinks and feels; in other words, the method of anthropology is the spirit of anarchism. In this brief text, David traces the shared intellectual genealogy of both traditions to illuminate the way an anarchist social theory could reveal the endless variety of human societies.

Steven Shaviro, professor in English at Wayne State University
David Graeber's Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology is filled with interesting and provocative ideas. Graeber wants to ally the discipline of anthropology with the anarchist currents that have shown up, most recently, in the anti-globalization movement. Each, he says, has a lot to offer the other.
