Well... today I will talk about Pierre Clastres.
Althought I am recently studying Anthropology and i don't know the name's of many anthropologists... our teacher of Latinoamerican history tell us about a book, name's "society against the state" for Pierre Clastress and I found the text and I read a little and he impressed me... and a partner told me about other book of him, "research in political anthropology". He was an antropologist!!... and now, writing this, I found more information, his was an antropologist-etnologist with an anarchist trend born in France, in may of 1934 an participated in the events of May '68. He died, aged 43, in a car accident at Gabriac, Lozère.
I recently started to read his book about anthropological research... and I loved, even in his work, he made a critical to the society, consumerist, individualist and oppressed... I am really identify with the anarchist ideal... and I admire his form to write... he made me laughing... sometimes is very funny... even with a very serious work.
In his book(i will talk about I read) he tell us about his experience when he lived with the Yanomamis; a culture that continue exist in the Amazonia. He related all that he saw and experimented... and he didn't doubt in admire that culture for their continuity to our days
