Privatization, Repression, and Revolts
Dispatches from Pepper Spray University:Privatization, Repression, and Revolts



©2012 The American Studies Association
Sunaina Maira and Julie Sze 


The spaces we live in are broken: occupation is our defense. As capital spirals further into crisis, we are constantly confronted with the watchword of austerity. We are meant to imagine a vast, empty vault where our sad but inevitable futures lie. But we are not so naïve. Just as Wall Street functions on perpetually revolving credit markets where cash is merely a blip, so also does our state government. High tuition increases have been made necessary not by shrinking savings, but by a perpetually expanding bond market, organized by the UC Regents, enforced through increasing tuition and growing student loan debt. Growth has become a caricature of itself, as the future is sold on baseless expanding credit from capitalist to capitalist. Our future is broken. We are the crisis. Our-occupations are the expressions of that crisis.—Communiqué from the Occupied Crush Culture Center, UC Davis
