Anthropologist David Graeber undertakes the first detailed ethnographic study of the global justice movement. The case study at the center of Direct Action is the organizing and events that led to the one of the most dramatic and militant mass protests in recent yearsagainst the Summit of the Americas in Québec City. Written in a clear, accessible style (with a minimum of academic jargon), this study brings readers behind the scenes of a movement that has changed the terms of debate about world power relations. From informal conversations in coffee shops to large spokescouncil” planning meetings and tear gas-drenched street actions, Graeber paints a vivid and fascinating picture.

Along the way, he addresses matters of deep interest to anthropologists: meeting structure and process, language, symbolism and representation, the specific rituals of activist culture, and much more. Starting from the assumption that, when dealing with possibilities of global transformation and emerging political forms, a disinterested, objective” perspective is impossible, Graeber writes as both scholar and activist. At the same time, his experiment in the application of ethnographic methods to important ongoing political events is a serious and unique contribution to the field of anthropology, as well as an inquiry into anthropology’s political implications.

David Graeber is an anthropologist and activist who teaches at the University of London. Active in numerous direct-action political organizations, he has written for Harper’s Magazine and is the author of Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology, Towards an Anthropological Theory of Value, and Possibilities.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; born 12 February 1961) is a London-based anthropologist and anarchist activist, perhaps best known for his 2011 volume Debt: The First 5000 Years. He is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics.

As an assistant professor and associate professor of anthropology at Yale from 1998–2007 he specialised in theories of value and social theory. The university's decision not to rehire him when he would otherwise have become eligible for tenure sparked an academic controversy, and a petition with more than 4,500 signatures. He went on to become, from 2007–13, Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London.

His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, "We are the 99 percent".

Graeber may well be the voice of a generation

My experience with David Graeber's work began with his monumental "Debt: The First 5000 Years" - a book I have recommended to more students than I can count. That book draws on an amazing array of ethnographic data to make a larger, theoretical point. So does "Direct Action: An Ethnography," in a slightly different way.
The book chronicles the buildup and execution of a large scale direct action protest. Graeber's detailed ethnographic writing draw you into this moment in time and the book serves to tell the tale in a way that offers plenty of object lessons in how to lay seige to the institutions of industrial capitalism. Graeber's commitment to activism and his willingness to place his body on the line are inspirational.

Perhaps the best book ever written about the global justice movement!

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 2 de octubre de 2009

Don't let the word "ethnography" intimidate you. While this is certainly a serious scholastic work, it does not at all read like an anthropology textbook. In fact, at times it reads like a really good novel, full of dramatic street actions, colorful characters, and passionate conversations. In the first half of the book, Graeber provides a vivid history of the intense political organizing that culminated in the mass mobilization against the 2001 Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. Along the way, he provides a rich description of the various groups behind the protests like the Direct Action Network, the NYC Ya Basta! collective, CLAC, SalAMI, the Pagan Cluster, and the Black Bloc, among others. While the first half of the book will for sure keep you on the edge of your seat, the second portion is no less fascinating. Here, Graeber gives a detailed study of anarchist culture in North America, from consensus decision-making and spokescouncils to infoshops, Indymedia, giant puppets, DIY punk, and vegan diets. Besides recounting large events like the World Bank/IMF protests in DC and the FTAA protests in Miami, Graeber also describes many smaller actions like Critical Mass bike rides and the walkout of employees of the Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhatten. So, if you want to better understand what the anti-capitalist movement is all about, I strongly urge you to read this insightful book. It will make you yearn for a better world.

All Power to the Ethnographic Imagination

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de agosto de 2009

With "Direct Action" David Graeber has written an important and timely book. If, as he argues, the ideology of the global justice movement, is embodied in its practices, then it really doesn't make sense to try and understand it by some generic or superficial description of its stated ideologies. Rather, it would have to begin from an analysis of movement building practices and organizing, and what kinds of collective compositions they create and sustain. In other words, it would necessarily involve something like the ethnographic understanding that Graeber elaborates here. And it is precisely this kind of detailed and imaginative analysis that is valuable now at the point where these movements have been dispersed and it is time to take a step back and learn from these experiences, to appreciate what they made possible and what was inadequate to the situation. This is precisely the book needed for such a task, one that in doing so reveals and elaborates the potentialities both of social movement organizing and the imaginative power of politically engaged scholarship.

Pretty good book, but the copy I got was a horrible misprint. One chunk of about 40 pages was missing entirely, the next chapter was repeated twice, once spliced randomly into a later section.

This Passes Muster for Academic Scholarship?

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 10 de diciembre de 2014

While many reviewers embrace the author's two-fold "talent" for non-academic prose and commitment to his subject, I do not. Considering it was billed as a scholarly tome, the absence of elevated style and objectivity ruined this book for me. If something like the "movement", if one can even call such contradictory and juvenile notions a movement, is close to the author's heart, then why pretend to pen an objective study? This is pure polemic. And while that may contain its own literary beauty, this belongs next to Lenin and Che Guevara rather than Veblen and Spengler.

Excellent book! 'Anarchists Prepare for Direct Action' might have been a better title though

Calificado en el Reino Unido el 30 de mayo de 2016

Compra verificada

Needed this long-ass book for my anthropology coursework at uni. Loved every page of it, mainly because it was written in plain English.

Direct action, as I understand, is essentially when people stubbornly act as if they are more free than they really are, but with mind to achieving greater freedom.

The first part details the events leading up to and including attempts to disrupt the world trade summit in Quebec City in 2001. Graeber is basically 'indigenous' as an participant-observer: he identifies with anarchism. The second part is a well-paced breakdown of the various elements of anarchist culture in North America. The chapter on meetings should be essential reading for any anarchist affinity group. The last part, the final chapter, is a look at how 'structural violence' hinders the revolutionary imagination. Hope and idealism abounds.

Two very superficial criticisms: 1. the title should have been different to reflect a lack of actual content about what goes on during direct action events; 2. I personally think violent struggle or property destruction to be a stupid way to struggle if you are an anarchist. How is smashing windows and walls going to draw the support of the multitude? The Politics of Nonviolent Action might be a good counter-book to this, although it is a work of political science.

But overall, would definitely recommend for radical progressive activists and more socially conscious ethnographers alike. Four stars.

While Graeber includes an extraordinary amount of raw conversations from his fieldwork his take on approaching anthropology from an anarchist perspective is very important in understanding ethnography today.
