{code}"Fredy Perlman's importance is undiminished." {- John Zerzan, author of Future PrimitiveFredy Perlman (1934-1985) has had an enormous influence on anarchist and radical thought and critique. The nine essays in this book trace the expansion of his scope from Marxist-leaning to Situationist inspired beyond "ultra-left" to a scathing condemnation of civilization itself. Delivered with passion and ferocity, his analysis traces the continuing cycles of nationalist fervor, xenophobic zeal, and the ever-worsening ecocide of civilization. His words retain their fire decades after they were written. With an introduction by Kevin Tucker.{code}

Gathered Remains (2018) 
About the book: Gathered Remains is the new collection of essays from anarcho-primitivist writer, Kevin Tucker. It focuses on understanding how domestication undermines our needs as social animals and redirects them through the processes of domestication to buy complacency. In depth looks at the nature and rise of addiction, the ownership of violence by the state and subjugation to the law, the inherent disconnect of the Interface Revolution and social media, and how domestication shifts our ability to grasp wildness and resilience, plus much more. 
"Gathered Remains is the definitive tour de force for our times. With writing that flows like a wind-kissed field, Tucker's impeccable reason and rich scholarship forges something unique: inspiration in the face of soul-breaking truth. In so doing, we are provided with a map of reality, and critically, a way to live in harmony with nature again."
 - G.A. Bradshaw PhD, PhD, author of Carnivore Minds, Elephants on the Edge, and Executive Director of the Kerulos Center. 
"Kevin Tucker's writings have been absolutely essential in the development of an emerging branch of anarchist thinking about the natural world, environmental activism, and the nature of civilization itself. Drawing from his diverse studies of naturalists, philosophers, and contemporary ethnographers, Tucker's work is staggering for both its breadth and depth. As the ecological crisis we're all facing grows even more urgent-and the mourning and despair that accompanies it even more crushing-this collection couldn't be more timely; the modern environmental movement is searching for answers, and Tucker presents a challenging, and compelling, argument that for too long we simply haven't been asking the right questions."

Gathered Remains: Essays on Wildness, Domestication, Community and Resistance

History

World

In April 2018, a Canadian man shot and killed the Shipibo-Conibo healer, Olivia Arevalo. He had been going to the Peruvian Amazon on and off for years, seeking one thing: ayahausaca. In his story, he wanted to become a healer. He saw that the Shipibo, and Arevalo in particular, held a cultural memory of a plant that he could learn and bring back to Canada with him. But in seeking to extract a cultural memory - one he may have always been unable to grasp the history of - he joined a long line of colonizers who sought out the Amazon as a point of extraction to feed a globalized civilization. 
This story, the story of Arevalo's murder and a retaliatory lynching, touches on every aspect of the colonization of the Amazon and the processes of civilization. From Pizarro's conquest of the Amazon, the intrusion of missionaries, the slave trade, the rubber boom, guano, and energy extraction, the ayahuasca eco-tourism industry is just another face of the frontier reality of the Amazon. Only in this version, it is the shifting cultural memory - itself a response to the reality of colonization - that is being mined and mimicked in an act of cultural appropriation. 
Cull of Personality is the story of civilization, showing how a conquering society, so depraved of meaning, will seek to destroy the world to find its purpose. And when it is fought and resisted, even the coping mechanism of those who have fought it is still up for sale. 
About the author: Kevin Tucker is a primal anarchist writer, rewilding human, and father.
