From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perlman was born August 20, 1934, to Henry and Martha Perlman in Brno, Czechoslovakia. His family immigrated to the United States when he was young. Perlman received a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from University of Belgrade. He married Lorraine Nybakken in January 1958.[1]

His best-known work,[2] Against His-Story, Against Leviathan (1983) rewrites the history of humanity as a struggle of free people ("zeks") resisting the sovereign nation-state (Leviathan).[3] The book influenced ecophilosopher John Zerzan.[4]
