Krátky popis
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive
and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike.
Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing
those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser
instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories
first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous
critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so,
they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of
farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization
itself. Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and
anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more
interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If
humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny
bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If
agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and
domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did
they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that
the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of
playful possibilities than we tend to assume. The Dawn of
Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human
past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new
ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable
intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith
in the power of direct action.
