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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Graeber\u003c\/b\u003e is an anthropologist and activist who teaches at the University of London.

Its slogan \"Mni Wiconi\"--Water Is Life--was about more than just a pipeline.
