TY - GEN TY - GEN T1 - The dawn of everything : a new history of humanity A1 - Graeber, David, kirjoittaja A1 - Wengrow, D., kirjoittaja LA - eng PP - London PB - Allen Lane YR - 2021 UL - https://kansalliskirjasto.finna.fi/Record/fikka.5553666 AB - "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 path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our shackles and perceive what's really there."
