This volume argues that lesbian and gay politics are in serious disarray and, fragmented by identity politics, the organized movement has little to offer most ordinary people. It analyzes the splits and divisions in the movement and demonstrates the connections between economics and homophobia.

This review is from: Over the Rainbow: Money, Class and Homophobia (Paperback)
I honestly cannot recommend this book enough. As a queer person and a Marxist, I am often dismayed by the LGBT movement's myopia concerning other arenas of political struggle. I believe that our movement, feminism, anti-racism, and environmentalism etc. need to be linked to a more comprehensive movement to transform society at its very roots. Nicola Field articulates that vision. She provides a long-awaited analysis of the intersections of sexual and gender identity with class, as well as giving a supert immanent critique of the mainstream LGBT movement, which is dominated by bourgeois perspectives, from a rigorously Marxist perspective. I don't agree with everything she says (particularly some of her analyses concerning the family) but overall, this book needs to be on more shelves. I'm dismayed, but not particularly surprised, that this book is so obscure. I am doing what I can to popularize it.
