<p class="MsoNormal"><b>In 1984 radical activist
Luba Gold goes underground to
support the Puerto Rican independence
movement.<span>
</span>When Luba’s collective is targeted by
an FBI sting, she escapes with her
baby but leaves behind a sensitive envelope
that is being safeguarded by a
friend. When the FBI come looking for Luba,
the friend must decide whether to
cooperate in the search for the woman she
loves.<span> </span></b></p>
<b>
</b><b>
</b>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Told in the voices of five
different women who cross paths
with Luba over four decades, <i>Clandestine
Occupations</i> explores the difficult
decisions that each woman confronts
about the limits of legality, the risks of
incarceration, and the conflicting
demands of politics and love.<span> </span>A
revolutionary feminist epic with psychological
depth, the book spans the solidarity
movements of the 1980’s to the awakenings of
Occupy and even beyond to a
beautifully imagined insurgency of the future.</b></p>
<b>
</b><b>
</b>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Based on lived experience,
Diana Block’s bold new novel
offers a thought-provoking reflection on the
risks and sacrifices of political
commitment, the damaging reverberations of
disaffection and betrayal, and the
exhilarating
possibilities of love through struggle.</b></p>
