Fragments of An Anarchist Anthropology

Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology is one of a series of pamphlets published by Prickly Paradigm Press in Chicago. With the essay, anthropologist David Graeber attempts to outline areas of research that intellectuals might explore in creating a body of anarchist social theory.

Graeber posits that Anthropology is "particularly well-positioned" as an academic community that can look at the gamut of human societies and organizations, to study, analyze and catalog alternative social and economic structures around the world, and, most importantly, present these alternatives to the world.
