Timeline
Claude Meillassoux (December 26, 1925 – January 3, 2005) was a French neo-Marxist economic anthropologist and Africanist.
After studying law and political science at the Institut d'études politiques at Paris, he went in 1948 to study at the University of Michigan's School of Business.
Meillassoux returned to France run the family textile business but, tiring of administration, spent some time in the United States, employed by the commissariat à la productivité as an interpreter for visiting French industrialists.
On his return to France, he served as intermediary between American experts and French businesses.
Joining the Centre d'action des gauches indépendantes (CAGI), he met Georges Balandier, and worked for him in producing an inventory of works by British functionalists on black Africa.
Having taken classes taught by Balandier at the École pratique des hautes études in humanities and social sciences, Meillassoux went in 1956 to the Ivory Coast as an economic expert on a research project involving the Guro.
In 1962, having defended his thesis under the supervision of Balandier, he took a position at the École pratique des hautes études.
A student of Georges Balandier, he did fieldwork among the Guro (Gouro) of Côte d'Ivoire; his thesis was published in 1964.
He joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research as a researcher under Pierre Monbeig in 1964, working on a project under the direction of Jean Rouch (whom he went on to succeed).
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.
Meillassoux was born at Roubaix, in northern France, to a family of textile manufacturers.
In 1979, Meillassoux was appointed co-director of a research team on Rural Societies and Development Policies, later becoming research director.
In 1982 he took a position heading a project focused on Southern Africa, and in 1986 founded a research group on Southern Africa involving researchers, academics, doctoral students, anthropologists, sociologists and economists.
In 1984, he was awarded the French National Centre for Scientific Research silver medal for his work.
In the 2000s he worked on a critical anthropological study of the Bible, with a focus on kinship ties.
Meillassoux died in 2005 in Paris.
His son Quentin is an academic philosopher.
