From ACT UP to the WTO by Benjamin Shepard
This anthology offers a history of ACT UP for a new generation of activists and students. Divided into five sections, it explores the innovative use of civil rights era non-violent disobedience, media work and race and community building, to show how ACT UP has transformed activism.
How often do progressives get such a powerful snapshot of history in the making, told from our point of view? Benjamin Shepard and Ronald Hayduk have done a masterful job of compiling essays that paint a comprehensive and diverse picture of modern activismA wide range of issues and the people who confront them, their agendas and strategies, are included here, and make a compelling read. This is a brave and important book that is sure to raise consciousness, cement coalitions, and incite righteous anger. It also gave me some hope that change is possible, if only enough of us will insist on equality, peace and justice. -- Patrick Califia, author of Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex and Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism
