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.

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.

History

Cultural Writing. Political Activism. By harking back in her title to the revolutionary anthem, The International, author Andrea Bauer expresses both the defiant optimism and the political heritage put forward in these pages. The form her writing takes is itself a time-honored socialist tradition: a political resolution, a product of the collective thinking and decision-making of a radical party, in this case, the social feminist Freedom Socialist Party (FSP).
