Challenging the Right Wing Backlash400 pages, paperback ISBN: 0-89608-523-6 South End Press, Boston, 1995 The right is moving full force to impose its agenda regarding race, sex, (un)employment, and government, seeking to turn back the clock to before the Great Depression. These urgent essays will encourage strategic action to counter right-wing corporate, religious, and political agendas and to defend democracy and diversity. Activists and progressive academics will find useful information and analyses to help draw blueprints for localized strategic campaigns to counter the right-wing ascendency. With contributions from activists, journalists, and intellectuals- such
as Jean Hardisty of Political Research Associates, journalist Liz Galst,
Scot Nakagawa of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, theorist
Matthew N. Lyons, Loretta Ross of the Center for Democratic Renewal,
author Fred Clarkson, Suzanne Pharr of the Women's Project, and many
more- this anthology brings together some of the most insightful and
original thinking about fighting the right wing today. The contributors
to this anthology call for all persons who want to defend democracy and
diversity to forge integrated and broad-based coalitions for mutual self-defense
on the grassroots and state level. With chapters covering attacks on
immigrants, lesbians and gay men, people of color, environmentalists,
artists, and educators, this anthology shows how these disparate groups
are linked by the need to resist the over-arching anti-democratic objectives
of the right-wing offensive.
