RePlacing Citizenship
AIDS Activism and Radical Democracy
AIDS Activism and Radical Democracy
Michael P. Brown
Foreword by Cindy Patton
Honorable Mention, 1997 Myers Outstanding Book Awards
"For Brown, 'just being there' for a sick buddy or at the moveable memorial AIDS quilt can express a deep and radical democracy: the bedside of a woman or man rejected by family and the exhibition halls and lawns where the AIDS quilt temporarily sits are both postmodern spaces in which affect reemerges as a central modality of citizenship....Like the frame-shattering work of early gender performance theorists, Brown is among those whose work demands that we think and do politics differently."
-from the Foreword by Cindy Patton
"Breaks new ground in the field of political philosophy....Brown's book is an excellent resource for individual readers and those in college-level courses looking for a way to discuss the ideas of radical democracy in an applied context."
-David Trend, author of Cultural Democracy
"Unsentimental yet moving...RePlacing Citizenship opens up the study and the practice of urban politics to a new spatial awareness, and serves as an eloquent testimony to the courage of those living with and dying from AIDS."
