About Claude Meillassoux

Claude Meillassoux was a French neo-Marxist economic anthropologist and Africanist. Meillassoux, a student of Georges Balandier, did fieldwork among the Guro (Gouro) of the Cote d'Ivoire: his thesis was published in 1964. In the 1970s he criticised Marshall Sahlins's use of the notion of domestic mode of production. Meillassoux was throughout his life a politically committed critic of social injustice
