Poetry

The record of an inspiring fight for justice and a guide to defeating harassment lawsuits. When nine Seattle radicals were sued by a modern-day McCarthyite, they risked everything to keep Freedom Socialist Party records from being seized. Their unorthodox, 8-year defense campaign roused international support and their daring legal strategies set precedents that benefit all activists and rabble-rousers.

Literary Nonfiction. Gay and Lesbian Studies. Both newcomers and veterans, students and teachers, will benefit from this pithy booklet--a classic of the 1970s--which reviews the legacy of queer defiance and proposes bold strategies for achieving the rights of lesbians/gays/bisexuals and transgender people. The authors pinpoint the origins of homophobia and tell the story of those who fought back: from German organizers in the 1860s, to the homophile pioneers of the 1950s Mattachine Society; from the youth and drag queens of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion, to the Gay Liberation Front and the eruption of lesbian feminism in the 1970s. The role of lesbians and gays of color is acknowledged and the work of groundbreaking lesbian writers is discussed. The weakness and strengths of various campaigns for sexual freedom are evaluated. The book includes an introduction by University of Washington Associate Professor Roger Simpson, author of the history An Evening at the Garden of Allah. A wide-ranging bibliography points readers toward further information on the LGBT struggle.

Prose. Ethnic Studies. Politics. This inclusive, passionate collection of essays is a compilation of 14 years of writings on a rich array of subjects by activists of color in the Freedom Socialist Party and Radical Women. Included are articles on bilingualism, sports, racism, and other important issues. Each article provides a measure of historical insight, analysis, and motivation that critically questions the multitude of issues affecting us all in a racist, for-profit society-Carla Trujillo. The result is a book that stimulates the kind of thought and discussion which form the basis for commitment and action-Hattie Gossett. Includes photos and drawings.

Voices of Color

Cultural Writing. The story of how and why the Socialist Workers Party abandoned its revolutionary program is an important chapter in American history. The party was the inheritor of the ideas of the Russian Revolution and Leon Trotsky, but when the radical 1960s exploded the SWP was paralyzed by its ties to the most privileged sectors of labor and its ambivalent and wildly contradictory approach to people of color, youth, and women. Written in 1965 by partisans of the fight to reorient the party, CRISIS AND LEADERSHIP provides a visionary analysis of economic and political developments and a hard-hitting indictment of racism and sexism in the union movement and the Left.

Cultural Writing. Politics. This Red Banner Reader follows Lyndon Larouche from his origins in the Socialist Worker's Party to his interlude with the National Caucus of Labor committees, and on to the flood of organizations, fronts, committees, parties, caucuses and whatever that Larouche has generated since his prison release in 1994. It notes Larouche's psychotic collapse and wildly cultist behavior of the 1970's, and traces the links, not without consequence, between cult politics and "real" politics in the worlds of Reagan and Bush.

Cultural Writing. African American Studies. In this radical new work, the struggle for African American liberation is analyzed using the Marxist dialectic as a way of understanding both the forces inside the civil rights movement and its revolutionary implications for the capitalist system against which it fought. REVOLUTIONARY INTEGRATION functions both as a survey and analysis of not only the battle for African American liberation, but also the on-going interracial struggle against capitalist oppression in all of its forms. "A wealth of information about the perilous and often horrific circumstances of African Americans as they/we struggle to gain the most basic of human rights...connects the disenfranchisement of Blacks in America and the rabid, rampant Capitalism which characterizes our every experience"--Laura Love.
