OCCUPYING WALL STREET: THE INSIDE STORY OF AN ACTION THAT CHANGED AMERICA
Book ID/图书代码： 11650011B51160
English Summary/英文概要： For two months this fall, Zuccotti Park, squeezed deep in a canyon between bankers’ skyscrapers in lower Manhattan, was the site of an extraordinary political action. Home to the hundreds of anti-capitalist protestors who camped there overnight, and the thousands who visited to join the protest, the park became a magical place: a communion of sharing and consensus in the heart of a citadel defined by greed and oligarchy. In the early hours of Tuesday November the 15th the occupiers’ camp was destroyed when police swept suddenly into the square, tearing down the tents, library, kitchen and medical center, and arresting hundreds. For the multitude supporting the action it was a heart-rending moment. But if the occupation at Zuccotti was destroyed that night, the movement it spawned across America has only just begun. Issues of equality and democracy, absent from mainstream political discussion in the United States for decades, are today springing up everywhere.
Now, in a new book assembled by a group of writers active in support of the occupation, the story of Occupy Wall Street is being told.
Occupying Wall Street draws on extensive interviews with those who took part in the action to bring an authentic, inside-the-square history to life. In these pages you will discover in rich detail how the protest was devised and planned, how its daily needs were met, and how it won overwhelming support across the nation.
In a vivid, fast-paced narrative, the key events of the occupation are described: the pepper spraying of young women corralled between plastic fences by the NYPD; the mass arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge; the victory on October 14th when an announced "clean up" of the square was abandoned by a mayor’s office fearful of a PR disaster; and the eventual storming of the occupation that brought it to an abrupt end. Woven throughout are stories of daily life in the square focusing on how the kitchen, library, media center, clean-up, hospital, and decision-making at the General Assembly functioned, all in the words of the people who were there.
The future course of Occupy Wall Street remains unclear. But one thing is starkly evident: Under the banner "We are the 99%" the protest has given birth to America’s most important progressive movement since the civil rights marches half a century ago. This is the story of that beginning.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 祖科蒂公园坐落在曼哈顿下城的银行摩天大楼之间，在这个秋天成为了一场非凡政治运动的根据地。国内数以千计的反资本主义示威者扎营过夜，数千人参与了抗议。公园此时成为了一个神奇的地方，人们在这里交流共享，对贪婪和寡头政治形成了一致的看法。 在11月15日星期二的早些时候，警察突然涌进广场，拆除了占领者的帐篷，逮捕了数百人。对支持此次行动的民众来说无疑是个巨大的坏消息。但是占领祖科蒂行动的失败将酿成另一场行动的开始。平等与民主，十几年未被美国主流政治重视，如今遍地开花。
如今，一本新的作品，由许多极为支持此次行动的作者合作完成，《占领华尔街》讲述了故事的始末。
《占领华尔街》引用了对行动领导人物的采访，使之更为真实可信，阅读中你将会发现此次行动设计和计划过程中的详细细节，例如日常需求如何满足，它又是如何获得国家的巨大支持的。
占领活动中的主要事件以生动而快节奏的方法描述：携带胡椒喷雾器的女子被纽约警察用塑料栅栏围堵：布鲁克林大桥上的大规模抓捕行动；一场”清理广场“行动被顺利阻拦；以及占领华尔街行动的突然结束。故事围绕着决策大会指挥着广场上的日常生活，包括厨房，图书馆，媒体中心，清理工作，医院和决策决议是如何运作的。
《占领华尔街》的下一步工作还不知道。但有一点是很肯定的，标语为“我们是99%”的抗议孕育了美国自半世纪以前的民权运动后最重要的进步运动。这只是故事的开始。(兼职翻译-XAT)
