Description
Tamar W. Carroll's Mobilizing New York AIDS, Antipoverty, and Feminist Activism is a powerful exploration of grassroots community activism in post-war New York City. Through a rich array of oral histories, archival records, and other primary sources, Carroll reveals how marginalized groups came together to effect social change. The book examines three interconnected case studies: the transformation of the antipoverty organization Mobilization for Youth, the participation of working-class white ethnic women and women of color in New York City's feminist activism through the National Congress of Neighborhood Women, and the partnership between ACT UP and WHAM! in response to the AIDS epidemic. Carroll argues that fostering coalitions across identity differences is key to solving social problems and realizing democracy. By shedding light on these often-overlooked chapters in American history, Carroll provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between activism, policy, and social change.
