  abstract: Never By Itself Alone changes our sense of both the American literary and political landscapes from the postwar period through to the present day. Presenting the first comprehensive history of post-war queer writing in Boston and San Francisco, the book begins with Robert Duncan's courageous 1944 essay, 'The Homosexual in Society', one of the first significant public defenses of homosexuality in the United States and ends with the War on Terror. Along the way, readers will encounter Adrian Stanford's Black and Queer, the first book by an out, Black gay poet published in the United States, the Boston collective Fag Rag, whose radical reconsideration of family, private property and the State remain both ahead of their time and timely, the Combahee River Collective, whose Black Feminist analysis drew together race, class and sexuality in new ways, the anthology This Bridge Called My Back, in which women of color spoke truth to power, together and New Narrative writing, which audaciously mixed Marxism, porn and gossip while uniting against the New Right. Drawing on extensive archival research, Never By Itself Alone reclaims a host of neglected writers, especially writers of color and those with gender non-conforming identities, challenges the Stonewall exceptionalism of queer historiography, recovering pre-1969 activist and literary community and its anticipations of 'queer' identity and insists on the continuing importance of radical accounts of race, class and gender in any queer studies worthy of the name.
