Description of  Over the Rainbow: Money, Class and Homophobia

Revised and updated edition of a seminal text. Written at the time when commercialisation of the LGBT+ movement was just beginning to take hold in the UK, the book is a searing indictment of those who claimed we could use lifestyle politics and the free market to buy our way out of discrimination and persecution. Over the Rainbow offers an uncompromising critique of the weakness of identity politics and an irrefutable class analysis of LGBT+ oppression. First published by Pluto Press in 1995 this important text has been unavailable for some time. This revised edition provides a detailed political analysis of the role of homophobia in class society.
