"We are winning. It is not just that so many of the individuals represented in Unfolding Corpus have had extremely successful careers as artists, activists, and educators. It is not even that we are all at least for the moment surviving the AIDS, white supremacy, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, and predatory capitalism pandemics that march on with ever increasing vigor in this country and elsewhere. What is true, however, is that in our organizations and families, at speeches, rallies, marches, bars, mountain retreats, and beachside resorts, we have created a community together, a home, something worth defending. Not all of us have made it this far. Some of us have been turned to ash. Still, our struggle is both resilient and sacred. Now is your time to step forward. Our comrades' tools are hidden, sharp and well-oiled, between the covers of this book. Pick them up. Make them yours. Fight back! Win!" - Robert Reid-Pharr, author of Black Gay Man: Essays"This book is critical for students craving radical, abolitionist models for liberation in our fascist age. Ayala and Hebert have brought us an AIDS archive of sex, care, and brilliance that will breathe life into our movements and make ways for us to dream new worlds." - Jennifer Brier, author of Infectious Ideas: U.S. Political Responses to the AIDS Crisis
