But by the early 1990s, the organization they founded, ACT UP, was no more--even as the AIDS epidemic raged on. Weaving together interviews with activists, extensive research, and reflections on the author's time as a member of the organization, \u003ci\u003eMoving Politics\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to chronicle the rise and fall of ACT UP, highlighting a key factor in its trajectory: emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly overlooked by many scholars of social movements, emotion, Gould argues, plays a fundamental role in political activism. From anger to hope, pride to shame, and solidarity to despair, feelings played a significant part in ACT UP's provocative style of protest, which included raucous demonstrations, die-ins, and other kinds of street theater. Detailing the movement's public triumphs and private setbacks, \u003ci\u003eMoving Politics\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of ACT UP's origin, development, and decline as well as a searching look at the role of emotion in contentious politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah B.
