[Noisebridge-discuss] Jan 29 event: discussion of Graeber's "Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology"

[Liz Henry]

Graeber's book _Direct Action: An Ethnography_ is also really great!

We have that, and the Debt book, in the Noisebridge library. They should 
both be in the tiny "anarchist" section, under the shelves with the 
programming languages that are alphabetized by language name.
