The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new
understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental
assumptions about social evolution—from the development of agriculture
and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality—and
revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.For generations, our
remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike—either free
and equal innocents, 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 conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society
posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter
has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today,
including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and
civilization itself.Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and
anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more
interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and
perceive what’s really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent 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 human history may be less set in stone, and
more full of playful, hopeful 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 a faith in the
power of direct action.Includes Black-and-White Illustrations
