Isabel Allende, one of Latin America's greatest novelists, is the author of 19 books, including "The House of the Spirits," "Paula," "Daughter of Fortune," and her latest, "Maya's Notebook: A Novel." Her works have been translated into 35 languages and sold more than 57 million copies around the world. Allende speaks to Democracy Now! about the revival of youth activism in her native Chile with the massive student-led uprising that erupted in 2011, and compares it to the Occupy Wall Street movement that blossomed in the United States to highlight inequality and economic injustice.
