Het begin van alles is een revolutionaire herziening van de geschiedenis van de mensheid. Het neemt je mee op een duizelingwekkende en meeslepende rit die 30.000 jaar en de hele planeet omspant.Antropoloog David Graeber en archeoloog David Wengrow tonen aan dat het gangbare verhaal over het ontstaan van de mensheid - denk aan de boeken van Steven Pinker, Jared Diamond en Yuval Noah Harari - niet klopt. Ze beschrijven prehistorische megasteden, onontdekte matriarchaten, landbouwweigeraars en andere verrassende samenlevingen die ons huidige beeld van de geschiedenis onherroepelijk doen kantelen.Deze internationale bestseller rekent definitief af met oude beperkende mythen die ons wereldbeeld tekortdoen. De geschiedenis laat zien dat ongelijkheid en discriminatie niet ingebakken hoeven te zitten in een complexe samenleving. Als we dit idee loslaten, kunnen we met meer inventiviteit en daadkracht onze huidige samenleving inrichten. Het is hoog tijd voor een nieuwe blik op de mensheid.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/het-begin-van-alles-9789493213265

In anthropology as much as in popular imagination, kings are figures of fascination and intrigue, heroes or tyrants in ways presidents and prime ministers can never be. This collection of essays by two of the world’s most distinguished anthropologists—David Graeber and Marshall Sahlins—explores what kingship actually is, historically and anthropologically. As they show, kings are symbols for more than just sovereignty: indeed, the study of kingship offers a unique window into fundamental dilemmas concerning the very nature of power, meaning, and the human condition.Reflecting on issues such as temporality, alterity, and utopia—not to mention the divine, the strange, the numinous, and the bestial—Graeber and Sahlins explore the role of kings as they have existed around the world, from the BaKongo to the Aztec to the Shilluk and beyond. Richly delivered with the wit and sharp analysis characteristic of Graeber and Sahlins, this book opens up new avenues for the anthropological study of this fascinating and ubiquitous political figure

"Surrounded by enemies including ISIS and hostile Turkish forces, the people in Syria's Rojava region are carving out one of the most radically progressive societies on the planet. Visitors have been astounded by the success of their project, a communally organised democracy which considers women's equality indispensable, has a deep-reaching ecological policies, and rejects reactionary nationalist ideology. This form of organization, labeled democratic confederalism, is both fiercely anti-capitalist and boasts a self-defense capacity which is keeping ISIS from their gates. Drawing on their own firsthand experiences of working and fighting in the region, the authors provide the first detailed account of a revolutionary experiment and a new vision of politics and society in the Middle East and beyond"--Back cover.
