Description
Direct Action: An Ethnography by David Graeber explores the global justice movement through an in-depth study of its organizing and events. This clear and accessible account brings readers behind the scenes of a pivotal moment in recent history, the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. Graeber's vivid portrayal covers informal conversations to large planning meetings, and from symbolic language to activist culture rituals. He addresses key anthropological concerns, such as meeting structure and process, while also acknowledging that an objective perspective is impossible when dealing with global transformation and emerging political forms. This ethnographic study not only provides a unique contribution to the field of anthropology but also raises important questions about the role of anthropology in understanding ongoing political events.
