This book is an urgent and compelling account of the Occupy
movements: from the M15 movement in Spain, to the wave of
Occupations flooding across cities in American, Europe and
Australia, to the harsh reality of evictions as corporations and
governments attempted to reassert exclusive control over public
space. Across a vast range of international examples over twenty
authors analyse, explain and helps us understand the movement.
These movements were a novel and noisy intervention into the recent
capitalist crisis in developed economies, developing an
exceptionally broad identity through a call to arms addressed to
'the 99%', and emphasizing the importance of public space in the
creation and maintenance of opposition. The novelties of these
movements, along with their radical positioning and the urgency of
their claims all demand analysis. This book investigates the
crucial questions of how and why this form of action spread so
rapidly and so widely, how the inclusive discourse of 'the 99%'
matched up to the reality of the practice. It is vital to
understand not just the choice of tactics and the vitality of
protest camps in public spaces, but also how the myriad of
challenges and problems were negotiated. This book was published as
a special issue of Social Movement Studies.
