David Graeber

David Graeber is an anthropologist and American anarchist activist.And it has contributed, on the one hand, since he has linked to the anthropology and ethnography, with the anarchist thought, because it's the only discipline that directly studies the way of life of non-state and egalitarian societies, and on the other hand, contributes to the proposal that if the anthropologist proposes and is creative, it can be a great contribution to social change, retaining a political and commitment role, since much of the social tragedies incited by politicians is due to a lack of imagination can be considered the way of life of tribal societies in which there is no inequality, abuse of power, theft or competition.

It’s important today for his political activism as for his contribution to socially and politically committed anthropology, as well as for his publications and to be a university professor. I met Graeber because of a book I read called "Fragments of anarchist anthropology", and I recommend it to know other forms of anthropological thought.
