“[A] much needed book...a compelling portrait of the Occupy movement...that capture[s] the spirit of the people involved, the crisis that gave Occupy birth, and the possibility of genuine change it represents.”
—Eric Foner, author of The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery
The Occupy Wall Street movement arose out of a widespread desire of ordinary Americans to change a political system in which the moneyed “1%” of the nation controls the workings of the government. In Occupy Nation, social historian Todd Gitlin—a former leader of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) who stood at the forefront of the birth of the New Left and the student protests of the 1960s and ’70s—offers a unique overview of one of the most rapidly growing yet misunderstood social revolutions in modern history. Occupy Nation is a concise and incisive look at the Occupy movement at its pivotal moment, as it weighs its unexpected power and grapples with its future mission.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Occupy Wall Street is somewhere between a moment and a movement. Moment or movement, its the fastest growing phenomenon on the left in decades. In three weeks, Occupy traversed a distance that took three years during the movement against the Vietnam war--from incredulity to trivialization to respect and popularity. It has changed the national debate with its We are the 99 percent slogan, which garnered near instant support throughout the country. In the course of a few weeks of human events, Occupy whipped up an incandescent compound of joy, anger, hope, and resolve--and most importantly, the promise of truly changing the political map.Yet despite its widespread appeal, Occupy Wall Street has been poorly understood--on both the left and the right--by journalists, pundits, politicians, and everyday Americans alike. With Occupy Nation, Todd Gitlin explores the origins, the spirit, the uniqueness and predecessors, the inner tensions, and the outlooks of the OWS movement. Providing both a unique interpretation of where the movement has come from while teasing out the significant role its likely to play in political culture over the coming years, Occupy Nation is the book for anyone looking to understand the revolution playing out before their eyes. Providing both interpretation of where the movement has come from while teasing out the significant role it's likely to play in political culture over the coming years, this book is suitable for those looking to understand the revolution playing out before their eyes.
