Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street

Flying Squirrel Community Space (285 Clarissa St.)

Writer Mark Bray is a former organizer and press liaison of the Occupy Wall Street movement, as well as a PhD candidate and a Wobbly. His work has been featured in a number of leftist books and periodicals. "Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street", an account and study of anarchists in the erstwhile Occupy encampment at Zuccotti Park, is his first book.

Nathan Schneider was one of the first journalists to write about the Occupy Movement at its advent. He attended and covered General Assemblies and marches, acquiring the voices and perspectives of various participants. His new book, "Thank You, Anarchy: Notes from the Occupy Apocalypse" is a study of the first year of Occupy; of its origin, goals and inertia.

Rochester Red and Black will be hosting Bray and Schneider at the Flying Squirrel September 29th. They will discuss their books and lead a panel discussion on the ways anarchists and others shaped the goals and spirit of Occupy. Come educate yourself on the role anti-authoritarianism played in determining the impact of America's largest recent anti-capitalist action.
