A survival guide to making it through
to 2008 and a hilarious, kick-ass call-to-arms from “comedy’s
most fearless superhero.” (Entertainment Weekly)
Comedian and activist Margaret Cho’s righteous
comic rage finds its targets with pinpoint accuracy and is
meant not only to entertain but also to champion the civil
liberties and raise awareness for the social injustices that
are her impassioned causes—among them freedom of expression;
gay rights; racial discrimination; and capital punishment.
It is this blend of comedy and fervor that awakens the devotion
of her legions of fans and permeates this book—her vehement,
principled, and resoundingly funny political platform to shake
us loose of the politics of disillusionment and get us through
the years ahead.
I Have Chosen to Stay and Fight
chronicles Cho’s adventures and misadventures in political
activism and lays out what’s right in no uncertain terms.
Margaret Cho has won awards
for both her comedy and her activism. She has just finished
shooting her first narrative feature film, Bam Bam and
Celeste, and will be taking her “Assassin” tour across
the U.S. in 2005.
