Opis

Collected for the first time are more than forty years of Doug Ireland's outspoken writing, covering hot-button topics from gay rights to AIDS to the war in Iraq and presidential politics. Edited and introduced by Martin Duberman, The Emperor Has No Clothes is essential reading for progressives everywhere. "Doug served as the moral lodestar of the embattled left." -John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil "I've never met anyone who had a greater understanding of the American left than Doug and there's certainly no one . . . who did more to inspire grassroots activism, realize change, and hold a movement's feet to its ideological fire." -Sean Strub, author of Body Counts "This collection . . . is the only kind of history that produces revelations about the reader's own time." -Sarah Schulman, author of The Gentrification of the Mind "Doug Ireland gave voice to a generation of radical activists." -Marcia Gallo, author of No One Helped "As vital as it may be, it is rare for journalism, even really good journalism to live beyond its moment. When it does it is because style, insight, wit, passion, and a profound understanding of the human condition all collide to transform journalism into art. This collection of Doug Ireland's writing demonstrates not only that this is possible, but when it happens it is startlingly illuminating." -Michael Bronski, author of A Queer History of the United States
