This collection of essays documents the events surrounding the racist "Compton Cookout" incident at UC San Diego. Between February 15 and March 4, 2010, students, staff and faculty at UCSD mobilized against a well-publicized sequence of racist acts on campus and the on-going privatization of higher education. Building occupations and mass rallies, media campaigns and strategic debates were all part of the ebb and flow of a movement that faced three opponents: an inept administration; a student body riddled with ignorance and racism; and decades of active racial hostility.
