Abstract

In their incredible volume The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by the late David Graeber and David Wengrow a vision of diverse archaeological economies emerges. This work challenges unilinear and Western-centric understandings of civilizational change in ways that opens up new conversations about the past and the present. This session offers and opportunity to reflect on what Community Economies scholars and activists make of the contributions of this book and the implications of this work for thinking about subsistence, collective practices, settlement, temporality, living with the more than human.
