"Occupying Political Science is provocative, thoughtful and well-informed. Best of all, it is a pleasure to read!" Frances Fox Piven, Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and author of Who's Afraid of Frances Fox Piven, the Essential Writings of the Professor Glenn Beck Loves to Hate. "This cleverly conceived and carefully curated volume will be welcomed by those interested in Occupy and social movements as well as scholars of 'civic culture,' citizenship, social justice, governmentality, and those interested in how passionate individuals struggle to join and work together as collectivities to realize their common hopes, dreams, and desires. Along with recent works by Wood, Sitrin, and Khasnabish and Haiven, this is destined to be a crucial text in the emergent activist social science literature.' Eric Selbin, Professor of Political Science & University Scholar, Southwestern University
