In the Time of the Right: Reflections on Liberation, 2nd Edition constructs a progressive view of the politics of our time that is accessible to students, activists, and all who are trying to understand the threat to democracy by the Right.

Published in 1988, Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism, shifted the conversation about gender oppression. Building on the framing of interconnected oppressions presented in the 1977 Combahee River Collective Statement, it illustrates how homophobia and sexism are intertwined and serve male authority and domination. At the center of the book is an analysis of how all oppressions are connected by economic power and control and by common methods of limiting and controlling lives and destroying civil liberties.
