The Question of Power An Interview with Pierre Clastres

L'Anti-Mythes, a journal published in Caen, France, by some ex-students, focused particularly on the history of the political group Socialisme ou Barbarie and organized a series of interviews with several members viewed as representative of different aspects of the group's activities: Cornelius Castoriadis, Claude Lefort, Daniel Mothé and Henri Simon. L'Anti-Mythes also published this long interview with Pierre Clastres, which has become a reference over the years. Simple in its exposition, uncompromising on the content, The Question of Power is a crucial introduction to the ethnologist's thinking.
