Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba

$19.95

By Leslie Feinberg

Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba documents revolutionary Cuba’s inspiring trajectory of progress towards liberation of sexualities, genders and sexes.

This ground-breaking book reveals how the Cuban Revolution has grappled with the pre-revolutionary legacy of 450 years of persecution and exploitation of homosexuality.

Rainbow Solidarity answers the demonization of the 1959 Cuban Revolution by Washington and the CIA, Wall Street and Hollywood by demonstrating that the process of solving these problems is the forward motion of the revolution.

Today, after decades of concrete efforts and achievements—together with free health care and education, and jobs and housing for all—Cubans enjoy freedoms regarding same-sex love, transsexuality and gender expression in Cuba that don’t exist in the imperialist United States.

Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba is an edited compilation of 25 articles from the Workers World news­paper series by Feinberg entitled Lavender & Red, online at www.workers.org

Leslie Feinberg is the author of Stone Butch Blues, Transgender Warriors, Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue and her most recent novel, Drag King Dreams.www.transgenderwarrior.org
