About a good anthropologist!

Hello Again! 

Today I'm going to talk to you about a person who I consider a very good and experimented anthropologist, but today I want to do a game: I'm going to give to you a few characteristics about this person and you will have to guess who is the person that I'm talking! Let's play and good luck! If you can't guess, don't worry because at the end of the post I'm going to tell to you who is this amazing anthropologist.  

First I'm going to talk to you about his personal life! If you put attention, here is the first clue, this person is a MAN! 

OK, now I'm going to talk to you about some things of his personal life:

He was born in 1930 at Chicago, he had 83 years old, yes is amazing but he still alive, luckily, he studied anthropology at the University of Chicago too. He received both a Bachelors and Masters degree at the university of Michigan, and here he studied with Leslie White

 ( an anthropologist who talks about the sociocultural evolution). Besides he earned a Ph. D. at the Columbia University in 1954. 

He taught at the University of Michigan. 

Now I'm going to talk about the characteristic that makes me admire this person: in the sixties he became politically active, protesting against the Vietnam War ( if you see my another post you can realized that I really hate the war!). He wrote a lots of articles in protest against the Vietnam War, I think that he was really brave, because at that time,  when the students or professors the universities decided not allow to them to continue studying or working there. 

One of his distinguishes students was Gayle Rubin, who writes about feminist anthropology, and she is very successful. 

I don't know more things about his private life like if he have sons or wife, but I think that is not the important thing about he, so I'm going to talk to you, about some of his  works and theories. 

His best known theory talks about the " wild opulence", specifically in his book "The Economy of  Stone Age", the wild opulence is the concept that this anthropologist use to define  the behavior of wild communities that do not have a state, he said that this communities, don't have a lot of resources, but  they share all that they have! 

This anthropologist do a lot of his field work in Hawaii,  this fact makes me admire he more, because I really love Hawaii, and I think that is very important do anthropological work there!

With these clues, I hope you have been able to guess  about who I'm speaking to you!

But If you don't, don't worry  because here is a picture about this amazing anthropologist 

Yes!!! I was talking  to you about MARSHALL SAHLINS!

( this picture is when he was younger, because now he look like a very cute grandfather!)
