The Occupy Movement took the world by storm in 2011, with protest camps cropping up all over the Western world. Occupiers managed to get everyone's attention as they fought for their rights in earnest, but the movement has stalled in recent months as activists are not exactly sure what should be their next plan of action. Enter Mike Davis. With wit, humour and a remarkable grasp of the political marginalisation of the poor and working class by the 1%, Davis crafts a striking defence of the Occupy Movement and lays out well considered next steps to advance the movement.
Named a Macarthur Fellow in 1998, he was also honored for distinguished achievement in nonfiction writing by the Lannan Literary Foundation. Professor Davis is the author of more than 20 books and more than 100 book chapters and essays in the scholarly and elite popular press. His scholarly interest span urban studies, the built environment, economic history and social movements. Perhaps his best known book, City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles was named a best book in urban politics by the American Political Science Association and won the Isaac Deutscher Award from the London School of Economics and has been translated into eight languages.
