And all I got was trauma and student debt…
A selection of anthropological reads from my days in academia. Some written for a general audience, while others require greater foundational knowledge to appreciate. Topics are largely intended to provide a traditional four-subfield approach, though sociocultural anthropology is largely (some would say over) represented. Includes titles written by authors outside the discipline but utilized in an interdisciplinary context.

How did we get here?
What I was taught does not explain the world as I am witnessing it. So I compiled this list as a personal curriculum for histories that are critical of empire and capitalism, and actually shows us how we got here.
The list is not comprehensive, but I hope it helps people identify the gaps in their own historical education!
