{"product_id":"book-gq2a","title":"Boy with the Bullhorn","description":"From the moment Ron Goldberg stumbled into his first ACT UP meeting in June 1987, the AIDS activist organization became his life. For the next eight years, he chaired committees, planned protests, led teach-ins, and facilitated their Monday night meetings. He cruised and celebrated at ACT UP parties, attended far too many AIDS memorials, and participated in over a hundred zaps and demonstrations, becoming the group's unofficial \"Chant Queen,\" writing and leading chants for many of their major actions. \u003ci\u003eBoy with the Bullhorn\u003c\/i\u003e is both a memoir and an immersive history of the original New York chapter of ACT UP, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, from 1987 to 1995, told with great humor, heart, and insight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiligently sourced and researched, \u003ci\u003eBoy with the Bullhorn\u003c\/i\u003e provides both an intimate look into how activist strategies are developed and deployed, as well as a snapshot of life in New York City during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic. He relies on his extensive archive of original ACT UP documents, news articles, and other published material, as well as activist videos and oral histories, to help flesh out actions, events, and the background stories of key activists. Writing with great candor, Goldberg examines the group's triumphs and failures, as well as the pressures and bad behaviors that eventually tore ACT UP apart.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49356415992112,"sku":"BDgq2a","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49356416024880,"sku":"ZEgq2a","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49356416057648,"sku":"ZMgq2a","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gq2a-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780194296","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gq2a","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
