Reviews

"Brian Morris blazed a lot of trails. He is a scholar of genuine daring and great humanity, and his work deserves to be read and debated for a very long time to come."
--David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years "This is a marvelously original book bursting with new ideas. I have read it with enormous interest and admiration. This collection of essays is an outstanding contribution to anthropology, environmental thought, and anarchism."
--Andrej Grubacic, professor and department chair in Anthropology and Social Change, California Institute of Integral Studies "Before there was 'anarchist anthropology, ' there was Brian Morris. This collection introduces the work of an intrepid pioneer, taking anarchist perspectives to where you would least expect them."
--Gabriel Kuhn, editor and translator of All Power to the Councils! A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918-1919, Liberating Society from the State and Other Writings by Erich M�hsam, and Revolution and Other Writings by Gustav Landauer "Brian Morris's scholarship is nothing if not compendious.... Morris's achievement is formidable. His control of such a breadth of material is enviable, and his style is always lucid. He makes difficult work accessible. His prose conveys the unmistakable impression of a superb and meticulous lecturer at work."
--Anthony P. Cohen, University of Edinburgh "Morris's acerbic analysis of established literature is matched by nuanced ethnographic analysis.... He writes accessibly about complicated matters."
--Allen F. Roberts, University of California, Los Angeles
