social anthropology

Christian Monö is a Speaker, Author and Sweden’s first and only followership expert. 
In this episode, he shares what he has discovered in more than 15 years exploring what he calls “natural followership." We discuss how our human ancestors self-organized in egalitarian band societies, and also how the leadership industry is affecting people, businesses and societies today. Among Chris' clients are the Swedish Armed Forces, and he has a new book coming out in English in 2024.

“[Natural followership] is the process of how people instinctively follow each other without being guided by formal rules or regulations.”

“We like to follow people who can help us get where we already want to go.”

“As soon as you create an environment in which people feel they are not free, they will start reacting to it.”

“In natural followership the group sets the vision not a leader.”

“When it comes to changing the world it’s not the leaders who do it; it’s the followers.”

"American Nations" - Cultural history of the US focused on distinct cultural areas and their affects.  Link: https://amzn.to/3P6lTwn

The three big anthropology books I recommend : 

"Guns, Germs and Steel" - https://amzn.to/3qI271S


"Dawn of Everything" Graeber/Wengrow - culturally left wing big (pop) anthropology/history book. Good for diversity of thought, many good references here.  - https://amzn.to/47Fl6uH

"Sapiens" - Globalist/WEF but a decent take to understand their position. -https://amzn.to/47FEW95


Other reccomendations: 

"The Korean War" -Bruce Cummings, history of colonization of Korea and the context of the nationalist/communist wars of East Asia. - https://amzn.to/3smlLB3

"Oracle Bones" - Book on China from a journalist's perspective in the 90s, exceptional and if people want to read one book on China I recommend this one.  - https://amzn.to/3YOOfzE

"1491" - Mann. So much of what we know about Native Americans is tainted by influence of Europeans (by the time Europeans were writing a lot of stuff down, especially in English 200 years had passed since first contact and almost everyone was dead and the cultures were irrevocably changed, even if they didn't meet Europeans yet). The lost history of pre-Columbian western hemisphere is a glimpse into so many unique cultures that challenge our assumptions of human nature as well as history. - https://amzn.to/45luIsM

Indigenous cultures often have hallucinogenic traditions, from Meso-America, to Africa, the Pacific, and indigenous Europe. The United States, Spain, and Japan, just as diverse, all drink similar amounts of coffee while being very different cultures. Why do these cultures that differ so much share these traits, and what do these, and the use of other drugs tell us about the values and customs of a culture?

 I’m Sam and this is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast. The weekly cultural anthropology and history podcast that tries to make sense of our senseless world through indigenous and historical examples, academic methods in social science, and a perspective not limited by the crushing restrictions that come with traditional academia and public schools.

Today we are going to find out the similarities in a few indigenous hallucinogenic traditions, and why these similar traditions thrived in these very different cultures. Then, what makes alcohol tied to settled life. What makes alcohol give way to caffeine as the main drug of the west, and what are the consequences of this shift are. Finally, what the drugs of the last few decades have to say about the state of our modern culture.

In the early 19th century, the Maharaja of Travancore levied an absolutely bizzare tax: Any woman who had come of age and had breasts had to pay a breast tax, and bare her breasts to anyone who was of a higher caste to them. This was one amongst the hundreds of taxes the lower castes had to endure, which put them in a cycle of perpetual debt and poverty. And then came a revolt which led the Maharaja to revoke the tax. This week, in the fifth episode of India's Linguistic Heritage, we explore the bizzare story of the origins of modern Malayalam, which has everything from a breast tax to a religious power struggle. Tune in and discover, what this story means for us as travellers, everytime we encounter a new culture.
