Description
A readable, compact account and analysis of the Occupy protests, "The Occupy Movement Explained" is thoroughly researched, painstakingly accurate, and fully documented. Debunking a number of prominent myths and misunderstandings, Nicholas Smaligo shows how the movement arose out of radical currents that have been active below the media's radar since the 1970s.
