The book you are referring to is a case study of a particular people group, themselves a subset of the San, perhaps you've heard of them from the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. Unsurprisingly, they haven't been treated well and in the past 30 years their traditional marriage customs have certainly changed. And while I won't debate the merits of those past or current customs, bridge kidnapping isn't occurring in egalitarian societies.

honestly, just get into anthropology and you'll get plenty of stuff. graeber is just a well known anthropologist who is openly anarchist, but he talks about a lot of the same stuff that many other anthropologists talk about. i once randomly dumpstered this book (crappy pdf of it here ) only to find that it happened to be an anthropological study of a non-hierarchical society.
