David Rolfe Graeber (; born 12 February 1961) is an American anthropologist and anarchist activist, perhaps best known for his 2011 volume ''Debt: The First 5000 Years''. He is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=London School of Economics Department of Anthropology Staff List )〕 As an assistant professor and associate professor of anthropology at Yale from 1998–2007 he specialised in theories of value and social theory. The university's decision not to rehire him when he would otherwise have become eligible for tenure sparked an academic controversy, and a petition with more than 4,500 signatures.〔 He went on to become, from 2007–13, Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London.〔 His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, "We are the 99 percent". == Early life == Graeber's parents, who were in their forties when Graeber was born, were self-taught working-class intellectuals.〔 Graeber's mother, Ruth Rubinstein, had been a garment worker, and played the lead role in the 1930s musical comedy revue ''Pins & Needles'', staged by the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union.〔〔 Graeber's father Kenneth, who was affiliated with the Youth Communist League in college, though he quit well before the Hitler-Stalin pact, participated in the Spanish Revolution in Barcelona and fought in the Spanish Civil War.〔 He later worked as a plate stripper on offset printers.〔 Graeber grew up in New York, in a cooperative apartment building described by ''Business Week'' magazine as "suffused with radical politics."〔 Graeber has been an anarchist since the age of 16, according to an interview he gave to ''The Village Voice'' in 2005.〔 Graeber graduated from Phillips Academy Andover in 1978 and received his B.A. from the State University of New York at Purchase in 1984. He received his Master's degree and Doctorate at the University of Chicago, where he won a Fulbright fellowship to conduct twenty months of ethnographic field research in Betafo, Madagascar, beginning in 1989. His resulting Ph.D. thesis on magic, slavery, and politics was supervised by Marshall Sahlins and entitled ''The Disastrous Ordeal of 1987: Memory and Violence in Rural Madagascar''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Graeber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
