Organizing Occupy Wall Street by Marisa Holmes
Marisa Holmes, an organizer of OWS in New York City, aims to fill this gap by deriving the theory from the practice and analyzing a broad range of original primary sources, from collective statements, structure documents, meeting minutes, and live tweets, to hundreds of hours of footage from the OWS Media Working Group archive.
“Occupy Wall Street (OWS) was a two-month occupation of Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan in 2011… Throughout the book one gets the sense that what occupiers most wanted from the experience was a sense of community. … I found a lot of new words and new ideas in this book. The ref‐ erences for each chapter are at the end of each chapter. At the end of the book is an index and a glossary.” (Jo Freeman, H-Net Reviews, h-net.org, December, 2023)
