About this title

Review:

"Tough, smart, original and savvy...." -"San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle "Politics doesn't always make for satisfying fiction but it can make for powerful and transforming manifestos, as Sarah Schulman proves in this collection of her reporting pieces in the alternative press over the last decade.." -"Lambda Book Report "This is a dazzling trip through a tumultuous era . . . [a] fine and fearless, absorbing and exciting book. It's required reading for activists of all stripes." -"The Advocate ..."the book serves as a community-based timeline of lesbian and gay life in the United States...With the latter works, it's clear that Schulman has grown as a writer, and into more vibrant forums." -"Guardian, May 1994 ..."[the] brief commentaries that update us on the development of the issues discussed place them in greater perspective." -"Booklist of The American Library Association, May 1994
