<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>
