In this review essay, I explore today's protest anthropology, the high‐stakes domain of professional and political practice in which anthropologists are not just aligned with protest movements, revolts, and uprisings but are also full‐fledged participants in them. Focusing on examples from the Occupy Movement, I discuss the promises and perils of taking a protest stance. I argue that, despite the risks, protest anthropology has the power to unsettle many of the current‐day knowledge‐producing practices in the discipline.
