Moving Politics – Emotion and ACT UP`s Fight against AIDS by Deborah B Gould
Chronicles the rise and fall of ACT UP - the organization founded by lesbians and gay men - highlighting a key factor in its trajectory: emotion. This book offers an account of ACT UP's origin, development, and decline as well as a look at the role of emotion in contentious politics.
"Moving Politics is not just a rich and rigorous history of ACT UPIt is also that rarest of works: one that simultaneously breaks new empirical ground while challenging our more general conceptual understanding of the subject matter. Quite simply, it will be hard for social movement scholars following Gould to ignore the emotional dimensions and dynamics of struggle." - Doug McAdam, Stanford University"
Deborah B. Gould is assistant professor of sociology at the University of Pittsburgh.
