ITEM OVERVIEW
This anthology offers more than just a history of ACT UP for a new generation of activists and students. It chronicles and analyzes how, between 1987 and 1999, a new project in activism has emerged. The book's five sections address the new social movements, the use of street theater to reclaim public space, queer and sexual politics, new media/electronic civil disobedience, and race and community building. Contributions range across a diverse spectrum: The Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, Students For An Undemocratic Society, Fed Up Queers, Jacks Of Color, Community Labor Coalition, Church Of Stop-Shopping, Indy Media Collective, Housing Works, SexPanic!, and, of course, ACT UP itself.
