Plötzlich war sie mit ihren Zelten da: Die Occupy-Bewegung formierte sich 2011 scheinbar über Nacht, besetzte weltweit öffentliche Plätze und protestierte gegen Bankenmacht. Auch in Deutschland entstanden Occupy-Gruppen, die teils mehrmonatige Camps in den Stadtzentren errichteten. Von hier aus sollte sich ihr Protest entfalten - offen, basisdemokratisch, vielstimmig. Was bewegte die Aktivisten und wie blickten sie auf Politik, Staat und Gesellschaft? Wie organisierten sie sich? Und was könnte von Occupy bleiben? Anhand von Beobachtungen, Interviews und Diskussionsrunden mit Occupyern eröffnet Lars Geiges einen materialreichen Blick auf das junge und kaum erforschte Protestphänomen. »Das Buch liefert eine umfassende, seriös recherchierte und spannende Analyse der deutschen Occupy-Bewegung. Es ist damit ein wichtiges Zeitdokument und ein guter Beitrag zur Bewegungsforschung.« Ruth Simsa, www.socialnet.de, 14.09.2016 »Die Dissertation von Geiges [trägt] dazu bei, Occupy differenzierter zu sehen und weder auf bunte Bilder noch auf gewaltsame Ausschreitungen zu reduzieren. Und sie bietet Anschlusspunkte für die Protestforschung und die Erforschung sozialer Bewegungen.« Karin Urich, Soziale Bewegungen, 2 (2015) »Occupy ist nicht einfach ein linkes Projekt. Lars Geiges hat da für viel Aufklärung gesorgt.« Tilman Mayer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 01.09.2015 »Geiges' Untersuchungsergebnisse bieten einen gelungenen Einblick in die Denkweisen und Wertevorstellungen deutscher Occupy-Aktivisten.« Björn Allmendinger, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 12.02.2015 Besprochen in: www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 17.02.2015, Oliver Neumann Arbeit - Bewegung - Geschichte.

In the 1920s, revolution, war, and imperialist aggression brought chaos to China. Many of the dramatic events associated with this upheaval took place in or near China's cities. Bound together by rail, telegraph, and a shared urban mentality, cities like Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing formed an arena in which the great issues of the day--the quest for social and civil peace, the defense of popular and national sovereignty, and the search for a distinctively modern Chinese society--were debated and fought over. People were drawn into this conflicts because they knew that the passage of armies, the marching of protesters, the pontificating of intellectual, and the opening and closing of factories could change their lives. David Strand offers a penetrating view of the old walled capital of Beijing during these years by examining how the residents coped with the changes wrought by itinerant soldiers and politicians and by the accelerating movement of ideas, capital, and technology. By looking at the political experiences of ordinary citizens, including rickshaw pullers, policemen, trade unionists, and Buddhist monks, Strand provides fascinating insights into how deeply these forces were felt. The resulting portrait of early twentieth-century Chinese urban society stresses the growing political sophistication of ordinary people educated by mass movements, group politics, and participation in a shared, urban culture that mixed opera and demonstrations, newspaper reading and teahouse socializing. Surprisingly, in the course of absorbing new ways of living, working, and doing politics, much of the old society was preserved--everything seemed to change and yet little of value was discarded. Through tumultuous times, Beijing rose from a base of local and popular politics to form a bridge linking a traditional world of guilds and gentry elites with the contemporary world of corporatism and cadres.
