In
Time for outrage! (
Indignez-vous in French,
¡Indignaos! in Spanish), a short pamphlet published at the end of 2010, 93-year old
Stéphane Hessel, a former French Resistance fighter and diplomat, called for young people to fight injustice. He struck a nerve, and his little book not only became a surprise best-seller (3.5 million copies worldwide, translated into 10 languages) but gave its name (
Indignados) to the
Spanish protest movement that started in May 2011 and later inspired other protests in many countries, including France, Greece, Israel, and the USA with Occupy Wall Street.
Interview with Hessel about the Occupy movements.
