Mutual Aid among Savages

New!

From: Mutual Aid

$2.50

In Chapter III, Kropotkin examines examples of mutual aid between ‘primitive cultures.’ The chapter explores topics including the tribal origin of human society, the late appearance of the separate family, common law, and cooperation in early human societies and tribes that still live close to the land in the Kalahari, Papua New Guinea or the Arctic circle.

Peter Kropotkin

Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) was the foremost theorist of the anarchist movement. Born a Russian prince, he rejected his title to become a revolutionary, seeking a society based on freedom, equality, and solidarity. Imprisoned for his activism in Russia and France, his writings include The Conquest of Bread; Fields, Factories, and Workshops; Anarchism, Anarchist-Communism, and the State; Memoirs of a Revolutionist; and Modern Science and Anarchism.
