Paul Shepard, above all, has probably been one of the most important influences on anarcho-primitivism and is often shamefully overlooked. This essay is one of his later ones and proves that Shepard was metal before metal existed.
When it comes to critiques of domestication, framing the vitality of wildness, the connectivity of all life, Shepard laid the path.

Thanks for this. Not familiar with Shepard at all.
ReplyDeleteIf you like Perlman, you'll love Shepard. His later books are some of the best ever written.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading his Coming Home to the Pleistocene, which is an expanded synthesis of PHP and another paper he wrote called Wilderness is Where My Genome Lives. Really great stuff!
