Fighting for Change
Ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about relationships?
Dean Spade's revolutionary Love in a F*cked-Up World is here to shake up your assumptions about love, connection, and activism. As seasoned polyamorists know, dismantling relationship hierarchies and challenging societal norms isn't just about who we love – it's about how we love and fight for change.
You may recognize this author from his revolutionary title "Mutual Aid", which found popularity within CNM communities and definitely got passed around more than one polycule.
Intersecting Agendas
This powerful guide speaks directly to the heart of consensual non-monogamy by addressing how our personal relationships intersect with our political activism. Whether you're new to non-monogamy or a seasoned practitioner of kitchen-table polyamory, Spade's insights will help you navigate the complex waters of loving authentically in a world that often seems designed to keep us apart.
Not a "Polyam How To" Book
Drawing from years of experience as both an activist and educator, Spade beautifully weaves together practical relationship wisdom with radical political theory. This isn't another polyam how-to book – it's a manifesto for creating sustainable, nurturing connections while dismantling oppressive relationship structures.
Perfect for solo poly practitioners, kitchen table polycules, and everyone in between who's committed to building better relationships and a better world.
