[Hanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a thorough and very personal account of the first ten years of Act Up Paris. I think it's not only interesting for people who are into queer history and the history of early HIV/AIDS activism, but also for those who are interested in activism and ways to be politically active beyond political parties and voting. For me this was a very inspiring read.
