Politically Speaking is a refreshing antidote to the right-wing perspective that dominates the political scene today. In a series of lively conversations, committed social activists Judy Rebick and Kike Roach take a new look at some of the issues that have troubled our hearts and minds over the past decade: racism, Quebec sovereignty, identity politics, the changing nature of work, the power of the media, violence against women, and the future of the women's movement and the left. Rebick and Roach -- one white, one Black, one a child of the sixties, the other of the nineties -- debunk right-wing philosophies and concepts, but they also talk candidly about where feminists and activists on the Left have gone wrong. Politically Speaking is guaranteed to raise hackles, challenge accepted wisdom and spark creative thinking about how we can get back on the road to social equality. This is a new release of the book published in September 1996.
