Talking of #CheeringOneselfUp I'm working out how to incorporate #Graeber and #Wengrow in my lecture on #Agglomeration this week. It's hard to summarise #Anarchism
There is some left dissent against their approach, like these, gathered by Monthly Review https://mronline.org/2021/12/20/the-dawn-of-everything-gets-human-history-wrong
‘The Dawn of Everything’ gets human history wrong | MR Online

Is inequality inevitable? Is freedom just a choice? Two materialist critiques of a widely-praised book.

@MichaelLondonSF A colleague & I are part of a small reading group -mostly #anthropology grad students- and we're reading #DawnOf. It's a great text for a 4-field program, offering ways for archaeologists, linguists, cultural anthros & even bio-anthros to talk to each other. First book in a long time to offer that to academic anthropologists. I miss DavidG. Feel for #Wengrow (& Nina) having to carry the #Graeber legacy without him.
