"Brian Morris blazed a lot of trails. He is a scholar of genuine daring and great humanity, and his work deserves to be read and debated for a very long time to come."
–David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years
"This is a marvelously original book bursting with new ideas. I have read it with enormous interest and admiration. This collection of essays is an outstanding contribution to anthropology, environmental thought, and anarchism."
–Andrej Grubacic, professor and department chair in Anthropology and Social Change, California Institute of Integral Studies
"Before there was 'anarchist anthropology, ' there was Brian Morris. This collection introduces the work of an intrepid pioneer, taking anarchist perspectives to where you would least expect them."
–Gabriel Kuhn, editor and translator of All Power to the Councils! A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918-1919, Liberating Society from the State and Other Writings by Erich Mühsam, and Revolution and Other Writings by Gustav Landauer
"Brian Morris's scholarship is nothing if not compendious.... Morris's achievement is formidable. His control of such a breadth of material is enviable, and his style is always lucid. He makes difficult work accessible. His prose conveys the unmistakable impression of a superb and meticulous lecturer at work."
–Anthony P. Cohen, University of Edinburgh
"Morris's acerbic analysis of established literature is matched by nuanced ethnographic analysis.... He writes accessibly about complicated matters."
–Allen F. Roberts, University of California, Los Angeles
