Scenes from Occupied America, edited by Astra Taylor, Keith Gessen, et al; and 99 Nights with the 99 Percent: Dispatches from the First Three Months of the Occupy Revolution by Chris Faraone are reviewed. Since their irruption half a year ago, Occupy Wall Street and its ilk have created a new political slogan--the 99% against the 1%--and a new catchphrase: "Occupy X" is now a synonym for all subversive disruption, where X can be anything from the court system to Valentine's Day. But maxims aside, the movement has always struggled to explain its agenda to the world. That has much to do with its anti-hierarchical structure: no central authority, no single ideology, no unified set of demands. Distrustful of outside agendas, the Occupy movement has chosen to build its own media instead. Besides using social networks such as Twitter and YouTube to organize and document its activities, devotees employ a bewildering array of websites. Of these three books, "99 Nights with the 99 Percent", a series of vignettes from assorted Occupy encampments by Chris Faraone, a Boston-based journalist, is the best read.
