On January 30, 2012, Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with author, historian, and Huffington Post writer Nancy L Cohen, about her new book, Delirium: How the Sexual Counterrevolution is Polarizing America.

In Delirium, Nancy Cohen asks the question of “Why, when the United States is mired in its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, would birth control, abortion, and the rights of gays and women top the agenda of the Republican Party?” But Cohen also maintains that “the sexual counterrevolution has been a bipartisan affair,” indicting the Democratic Party of political calculation at the expense of women’s and gay rights.
