Andrej GrubaÃÂiÃÂ (born 1976) is a Yugoslav world historian, world-systems theorist, and activist based in the United States.
GrubaÃÂiÃÂ is a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies and founded its Department of Anthropology and Social Change. GrubaÃÂiÃÂ edits the Journal of World-Systems Research. He is Affiliated Faculty at the UC Berkeley Center for Social Medicine.
After the premature death of his friend and colleague David Graeber, GrubaÃÂiÃÂ remains one of the exponents of the anarchist anthropology research perspective, and the department he founded at the CIIS is the only academic institute in the United States dedicated exclusively to the study of anarchist anthropology. Living at the Edges of Capitalism, which GrubaÃÂiÃÂ co-authored with Denis O'Hearn, won the 2017 American Sociological Association's Political Economy of the World-System Book Award.
GrubaÃÂiÃÂ's work is a synthesis of Braudelian history, Hegelian Marxism, and the anarchist anthropology of Peter Kropotkin. Together with John Holloway and several other dissident academics, GrubaÃÂiÃÂ has assembled a global federation of activist scholars and academic programs "inhabiting the cracks in academia".
GrubaÃÂiÃÂ is a member of the Retort collective and has participated in grassroots alter-globalization movement and has supported international projects in Yugoslavia and Rojava.
