Facing resurgent conservative forces feminist and queer activists organized in ways that not only resisted conservative hegemony but also helped to forge new communities communications and futures. <i>Resist Organize Build</i> casts new light on grassroots campaigns in Britain and the US looking at feminist and queer work on university campuses within anti-racist and anti-imperialist movements in reframing the family reproduction and health and in the establishment of new magazines book series and publishing houses.
