"In just six years, ACT UP, New York, a broad and unlikely coalition of activists from all races, genders, sexualities, and backgrounds, changed the world. Armed with rancor, desperation, intelligence, and creativity, it took on the AIDS crisis with an indefatigable, ingenious, and multifaceted attack on the corporations, institutions, governments, and individuals who stood in the way of AIDS treatment for all. They stormed the FDA and NIH in Washington, DC, and started needle exchange programs in New York; they took over Grand Central Terminal and fought to change the legal definition of AIDS to include women; they transformed the American insurance industry, weaponized art and advertising to push their agenda, and battled--and beat--The New York Times, the Catholic Church, and the pharmaceutical industry. Their activism, in its complex and intersectional power, transformed the lives of people with AIDS and the bigoted society that had abandoned them." --

New York, late 80s. The AIDS crisis has taken hold and the world is on the brink of imploding. Ronald Horne, an entitled property tycoon, lords over the city. Kate, a successful artist, lives in Manhattan with Peter, her husband and fellow creative. She's having an affair with Molly, a younger gay woman who, when she's not working a dead-end job, is caring for sick friends. At one of many funerals during an unbearably hot summer, Molly learns about Justice, the guerrilla activist group fighting for people with AIDS. She immediately signs up. Kate isn't so sure. And Peter is bewildered: by the changes he's seeing in his city, its inhabitants, and most crucially, his wife. Soon the trio learn that a tragedy of this kind not only warps our closest relationships but how anger -- and its absence -- can make the difference between life and death.

Bold and provocative, the book offers a critical commentary on the evolution of lesbian and gay politics in the United States. Through a diverse collection of news articles, letters, interviews, and reports, the author, Sarah Schulman, presents an unrepentant narrative that highlights key moments and figures in the LGBTQ+ movement. This work not only informs but also challenges readers to engage with the complexities of American history and identity.

Post-rehab, Maggie Terry has one goal: keep her head down, and rebuild her life in hopes that she'll be reunited with her daughter. But her first day as a private investigator lands her in the middle of a big one: actress strangled. If Maggie shakes her ghosts - dead NYPD partner, vicious ex, steadfast drug habit - then maybe she can crack the case.

Sarah Schulman illuminates the differences between Conflict and Abuse in this revelatory book that addresses the contemporary culture of scapegoating.

A modern retelling of Balzac's classic Cousin Bette by one of America's most prolific and significant writers. Earl, a black, gay actor working in a meatpacking plant, and Bette, a white secretary, have lived next door to each other in the same Greenwich Village apartment building for 30 years. Shamed and disowned by their families, both found refuge in New York and in their domestic routine. Everything changes when Hortense, a wealthy young actress from Ohio, comes to the city to 'make it.'

This insightful exploration delves into the harsh realities of gentrification and its dehumanizing effects on communities. Through a critical lens, the author examines the social and economic implications of urban transformation, making a compelling case for the urgent need to address these issues. The narrative is both thought-provoking and essential, shedding light on the often-overlooked consequences of gentrification that impact lives and neighborhoods.

In this new edition of Sarah Schulman's groundbreaking 1988 novel, the unnamed narrator is an abandoned coffee-shop waitress in New York's under-the-radar Lower East Side. No one cares about her and no one will stand up for her; she lives in the emotional anarchy that engulfs a lot of gay girls who have no place, no home. Her ex-girlfriend Delores knew all that, and exploited it, because she didn't want to be bothered, which is unbearable information to our waitress. Over the course of a few days, she goes on the prowl looking for someone to talk to, anyone really; but she doesn't expect to get immersed in a tangled web of seduction, poverty, and finally murder

At once a memoir, a call to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and an argument for queer solidarity across borders, this book tells the story of how novelist and activist Sarah Schulman's became aware of how issues of the Israeli occupation of Palestine were tied to her own gay and lesbian politics.
