In the City, Trey meets up with a cast of characters that change his life forever--from civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, who he meets in a Harlem bathhouse, to his landlord, Fred Trump, who he clashes with and outfoxes. He volunteers at a renegade home hospice for AIDS patients, and after being put to the test by gay rights activist Larry Kramer and civil rights leader Dorothy Cotton, becomes a founding member of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Along the way Trey attempts to navigate past traumas and searches for ways to maintain familial relationships--all while seeking the meaning of life in the midst of so much death. Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson's My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced, coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young, gay, Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American gay men $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 20 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042901.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024258.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020807.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021544.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012422.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025315.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230923010918.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010556.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230829010756.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020000.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20221231011543.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20221125010420.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20221122011929.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20221025012132.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221022011717.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014550.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20221004020420.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221004010731.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220914010517.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220902011600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=795A04CE13BB11ED9C55A27642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
