I found this to be an interesting article.





Disclaimer: I have a few qualms about the article: Firstly I wish that I could have a found a good source for the same information that was less commercial in nature and not packaged as "exotic" to boot. Second, I don't entirely vouch for the scholarship. But I think the general themes are interesting and presented accurately enough. Moreover, the illustrations are quite attractive.





I'M AN ELITIST TOO.

"I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations."
- Jaques Vache and Andre Breton

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."
-John Maynard

"You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..."
