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 years-against the Summit of the Americas in QuA(c)bec 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."

评分boring的日记体，展示社会动员的过程，卖点就是作者与其它activists之间怎么磨合和博弈的，各自揣个小九九地走到一起。。。Graeber还在致谢部分黑了Yale一把~据说occupy wallstreet的那个口号99%就是他想出来的。。。
