One of the most inspiring anthropologists makes a case for what anthropology and anarchism could learn for each other. Not only that but this book is also a small pladoyer for what role anthropologists should play in this current world and where the discipline could be helpful. A great read, easy to understand language and I'd say a must-read for everyone in anthropology.

A little difficult to read, nonetheless it is worth reading. Basically it calls on anthropologists, of which David Graeber is one, to be more affiliated with anarchists, of which David Graeber is one. He calls on anthropologists to use their ethnography experiences and studies to make the case for anarchism. This is what I got from it. I am sure that other readers of this book would make a better summary than I have.

This is my first time reading Graeber and it won’t be my last. Super easy to read. It’s not bombarded with academic jargon. It was really interesting to read and I’d recommend it for any anarchists. I picked this thing up 3, 4 hours ago and finished it in two sittings.
Blowing Up Walls had to be my favorite part because we often refuse to look at the past when the past has so much knowledge for us, even if it’s different in some ways than now.
