Occupation Culture is the story of a journey through the world of recent political squatting in Europe, told by a veteran of the 1970s and ‘80s New York punk art scene. It is also a kind of scholar adventure story. Alan W. Moore sees with the trained eye of a cultural historian, pointing out pasts, connections and futures in the creative direct action of today’s social movements. Based on five years of travel and research, Occupation Culture gives scholarly attention to squatting. The rich histories of creative work that this movement enabled are almost entirely unknown.
