Against the backdrop of the rampaging Far Right movement of the 80s, southern activist Mab Segrest probes the complex intersections of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and capitalism. In these new essays and narratives that are grounded in two decades of feminist, gay/lesbian, and anti-racist activism, she moves from reporting to personal reflection to historical analysis in order to focus on the primacy of racism in shaping U.S. history and its constant complication by forces of gender and sexuality. The book autobiographically explores the history of "white" consciousness in the United States, the Civil Rights Movement, Southern culture, neo-Nazis and the Klan, and lesbian-feminism.
