Collects essays and information on the many protest movements that swept through the world in 2011, from the Arab Spring to Spain's Indignados to the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States.nst austerity measures in already dark times; and we hear of the many, from New York to Wisconsin to Oakland, who marched under the banner "We Are the 99%." In addition, pieces by Schiffrin, Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Jeffrey Sachs, and columnist Laurie Penny frame these movements in the context of global capitalism and its discontents. World history is marked by pivotal years that have redirected its course: 1789; 1848; 1939; 1968; 2001. Only time will tell whether 2011 belongs in such company, but this year's protest movements have undeniably given shape and spirit to a new global community: the 99%.
