  A People’s History of Civilization


          John Zerzan

*The lofty view of man’s progress called ‘history’ deserves a new 
perspective-that of the common person, not liberated but burdened by 
modernity.*

The American anarchist, primitivist philosopher, and author John Zerzan 
critiques agriculture-based civilization as inherently oppressive and 
advocates drawing upon the life of hunter-gatherers as an inspiration 
for what free society should look like. Subjects of his criticism 
include domestication, language, symbolic thought, and the concept of time.

This book includes sixteen essays ranging from the beginning of 
civilization to today’s general crisis. Zerzan provides a critical 
perspective about civilization.

  * Zerzan’s previous books, /*Against Civilization*/, /*Running on
    Emptiness*/, /*Twilight of the Machines*/, and /*Why Hope?*/ explore
    the complex duality role of man in and against nature.
