Occupy Anthology Earns Nomination
Dismissed as a fad, the May Day protests all over the country showed that Occupy Wall Street is still relevant. “Occupy!: Scenes from Occupied America,” compiled by editors from the New York journal, n+1 and published by Verso, includes notable left intellectuals as Angela Davis, Judith Butler, Slavoj Zizek and Doug Henwood as well as people on the ground living the day to day life of being an Occupy activist. These essays often read like diaries. Exceptional are those directly addressing the horizontal decision making of the general assembly (GA). Those of us who have done our time in the GAs know that the experience is profound enough to dedicate an entire volume to.
Left Eye On Books hopes that giving its Independent Reader Awards will put more independent books on bookstore shelves and produce more online sales.
We are giving away books on our Facebook page starting Tuesday. This includes “Occupy!: Scenes from Occupied America.” Anybody who helps us with our jury reading list is eligible to win a book.
A small jury generally decides the winner of a book award. Left Eye On Books is experimenting with having potentially hundreds of people nominate. After the jury, and our jury advisers, finish the nominations, the readers vote on the winner.
