Compelled by his own 2005 HIV diagnosis, journalist John-Manuel
Andriote revisits his acclaimed chronicle of the AIDS epidemic in
this updated and expanded edition of the University of Chicago
Press 1999 hardcover original. Andriote examines the impact of AIDS
on individuals and on the gay civil rights movement, from the
coming-out revelry of the 1970s to the post-AIDS gay community of
the twenty-first century's first decade. Victory Deferred looks at
how AIDS has changed both individual lives and national
organizations. It tells the story of how a health crisis pushed a
disjointed jumble of local activists to become a national visible
and politically powerful civil rights movement, a full-fledged
minority group challenging the authority of some of the nation's
most powerful institutions. Based on hundreds of interviews with
those at the forefront of the medical, political, cultural, civic,
and national responses to the epidemic, Victory Deferred artfully
blends personal narratives with institutional histories and
organizational politics to show how AIDS forced gay men from their
closets and ghettos into the hallways of power to lobby and into
the streets to protest.
