About David Graeber David Graeber was an American anarchist and activist author, who was born and raised in New York City.

He then returned to state school at SUNY Purchase, where he graduated with a BA in Anthropology in 1984. After receiving his PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1996, Graeber held multiple teaching positions, including graduate teaching at Chicago and a junior faculty position at Yale.
