Seeking critical responses to the “Occupy movement” from indigenous, radical and/or anticapitalist perspectives

12 Oct 2011, Posted in Blog, 0 Comments

FUSE is seeking visual and/or written critical responses to the racism of the “Occupy movement” (we’re especially but not exclusively focusing on the ways that language of “occupation” obscures the fact that North America is built on stolen land). If you or your colleagues are writing about this and can get us a draft of a 1,000-2,000 word text in the next week for publication in our December issue (final copy due November 7), please get in touch ASAP and let me know what you’ve got on deck. Write to editor AT fusemagazine DOT org and put OCCUPY in the subject heading.
