About the Book

From the fight for a fifteen-dollar minimum wage to the nationwide teacher strikes, from Bernie Sanders to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and from Black Lives Matter to #MeToo, Generation Occupy reveals the lasting impacts of the Occupy movement on American politics and culture. On the ten-year anniversary of the Occupy movement, Generation Occupy sets the historical record straight about the movement's lasting impacts. Far from a passing phenomenon, Occupy Wall Street marked a new era of social and political transformation, reigniting the labor movement, remaking the Democratic Party, and reviving a culture of protest that has put the fight for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice at the forefront of a generation. The movement changed the way Americans see themselves and their role in the economy through the language of the 99 versus the 1 percent. But beyond that, in its demands for fairness and equality, Occupy reinvigorated grassroots activism, inaugurating a decade of youth-led resistance movements that have altered the social fabric, from Black Lives Matter and Standing Rock to March for Our Lives, the Global Climate Strikes, and #MeToo. Bookended by the 2008 financial crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, Generation Occupy attempts to help us understand how we got to where we are today and how to draw on lessons from Occupy in the future.

Review :
"Generation Occupy is a masterpiece that illuminates our past, present, and future." -- "Brian Platzer, author of The Body Politic" "A noteworthy contribution to the discussion over why Occupy Wall Street happened and what it meant." -- "Publishers Weekly" "A vigorous history...[and] an evenhanded account of a political strain that remains influential, if now relatively subdued." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Levitin writes an elegant, hard-edged history of the American Left over the last ten years." -- "Michael Scott Moore, author of The Desert and the Sea" "Levitin's enthusiasm is infectious...Occupy Wall Street and its offshoots changed a good deal more of the landscape than Zuccotti Park's three-quarters of an acre in New York's financial district." -- "New York Times Book Review" "Narrator Alex Boyles['s] flinty vocal tone and strategic use of pauses give the audio appealing impact...[and] make this a riveting call to action. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." -- "AudioFile" "Occupy was less a protest than the formulation of a new approach to economics and governance, whose full impact is only being realized today." -- "Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human" "Offers a dedicated defense of the power of mass protest." -- "Mark Engler, coauthor of This Is an Uprising" "This documentary account about the Occupy community refreshes North American nonfiction writing, creating a beautiful collage of stories about idealism, disenchantment, and influence ex post facto." -- "Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm"
