Noam Chomsky to release an Occupy Book
To be published on May 1, 2012
Since its appearance in Zuccotti Park in September 2011, the Occupy movement has spread to hundreds of towns, cities, and college campuses across the United States. To date, more than 6,500 people have been arrested in 111 US cities, a number that grows daily. By early 2012 it was cliché to say the movement had shifted the national conversation — it has.
From the movement’s onset, Noam Chomsky has supported its critique of corporate corruption and encouraged its efforts to increase civic participation, economic equality, democracy, and freedom for the 99%.
Through talks and conversations with movement supporters, Occupy presents a crystallization of Chomsky’s latest thinking on the cornerstone issues, questions, and demands that are driving ordinary Americans to protest.
Seriously, how did they convince Noam Chomsky to make a cameo in this? Either way, it’s pretty cool.
This is absolutely amazing- lots of good points. Also it’s amusing. Also rap.
Also Noam Chomsky?
