Recenzii
Radical Acts is a breath-taking analysis of activism against the HIV/AIDS epidemic that blends local, street-level confrontations with everyday acts of engagement and friendship. George Severs explores the diversity of activist movements: conflicts, creativity, silences, and solidarity. This perfectly crafted and surprisingly optimistic book also hints at the future of activism.
With an engaging writing style, Severs combines insightful theorizing with rich detail. Through the wealth of experiences it narrates, and its careful analysis, Radical Acts does not only look back at a complex historical moment but also makes sense of it for our future.
AIDS activism has taken many forms with variable identities and stages. George Severs' book ranges widely and with insight over activist groups from UK ACTUP to Positively Women, from religious groups such as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the Jewish AIDS Trust. Using oral histories, it draws our attention to quieter activism , to the growth of the 'AIDS sector' and to the continuing international significance of activist links and connections. A valuable addition to the history of HIV/AIDS activism.
George Severs' book is deeply scholarly and wonderfully readable at the same time. It charts the progress of HIV activism here in the UK, its battle with stigma and exclusion, its triumphs and its challenges, its links with queer radicalism, and the continuing need we all have for both. This is an illuminating and essential story.
